Zinc Cut Wire Shots
We offer to our clients zinc cut wire shot that is softer than steel, stainless steel, cast or cut wire products. Made from high grade zinc wire these are ideal for deflashing and finishing die castings, normally in wheel blast equipment. Available at competent rates, our products reduce wear and tear on blast equipment compared to most other metallic abrasives.

COMPARISON BETWEEN CAST STEEL SHOTS & STEEL CUT WIRE SHOTS
|
CHARACTERISTIC
|
CAST STEEL SHOTS
|
STEEL CUT WIRE SHOTS
|
|
Raw Material
|
Basic Raw Material has far lower physical property & Composition, obviously causes blow holes & porosity which makes the shots to fracture into small particle.
|
Raw Material is of exact composition, with-out any material defect (blow holes, porosity, shrinkage, etc), & wears out nominally during it's use
|
|
Dust Generation
|
Higher Dust Generation
|
No Dust Generation
|
|
Environment Friendly
|
Deteriorates environment of work place and it's dust is considered hazardous to health
|
Environment Friendly
|
|
Performance Consistency
|
Consistent Performance not possible due to fast size deterioration
|
Consistent Performance
|
|
Time Consumption
|
Higher Consumption in shot Blasting/peening increases working cycle time
|
Reduced Time for Shot Blasting/Peening
|
|
Shot Consumption
|
Higher Consumption
|
Consumption decreases i.e.33% to 67% less to cast shots (case to case basis)
|
|
Inventory Cost
|
Higher Consumption requires high Inventory,more money & space as well
|
Lower Inventory required for the same job.
|
|
Operation Cost
|
Higher Operation cost
|
Lower Operation cost
|
|
Shape Variations
|
Shot being produced are of mixed size hence product is a mix of various spherical sizes.
|
All shot being made out of same wire are identical,no variation of size anywhere.
|
|
Hardness Variation
|
They have larger variation in hardness
|
Uniform hardness throughout
|
|
Micro-Structure
|
In Micro-structure carbide always there
|
Micro-structure is only Tempered martensite.
|
|
Grain Size
|
Grain size of cast shot is unstabilized
|
Due to drawing passes grain size is stabilised.
