STEEL SHOT BLASTING MEDIA

Steel Shot which is separated as martensitic and bainitic, is used of steel and cast iron sandblasting. Steel shot can be used at the air and turbine system sandblasting machines. It is more economical when compared to other blasting medias, evaluating the number of reuse. These materials have a lifetime upto 100 hits. Bainitic steel shot's reuse time is more than the martensitic steel shot. It is sensitive to moisture and corrosion may happen. For this reason, the steel shots sold at bags with holes will rust in a short time. Rust causes rapid wear on turbine blades during use. Sold or bought steel shots should be considered to be rust-free.

STEEL GRIT BLASTING MEDIA

Martensitic steel grit is obtained by grinding hardened steel shots of martensite structure and more suitable to be used at air sandblasting system. Due to its structure this blasting media damages the turbine wings very quickly and gives harm to turbine system sandblasting machines. Steel grit is used mainly for the purpose of removing dirt and rust from the surface quickly and roughening prior to painting. It's reusing time is shorter than the steel shot. However, considering the processing speed, steel grit is much faster than steel shot at providing surface cleaning. For this reason steel grit is more economical. It is sensitive to moisture like steel shot and same cautions should be considered.
