Steel Ball Shot
High Carbon (HC)- High carbon steel shot is a very efficient abrasive for the surface treatment of metallic products. In contrast to low-carbon cast steel, this product has a higher blasting intensity which enables faster working.
Low Carbon (LC) - Low carbon steel casting is a very economical abrasive for the surface treatment of metallic products. Compared with the high carbon product, the low carbon content in this steel shot results in a longer service life.
