What are the
processes of steel
shots manufacturing?
Steel shot is an
abrasive material that

consists of a bluish-
gray alloy of carbon

and iron. It is a

durable and cost-
effective abrasive

material used in
numerous
applications. There
are several steps
involved in its manufacturing. Below are some of the common processes. Let us discuss each of
them briefly. The first step involves atomization, which is performed by using a high-pressure
water jet. Next, steel shots are separated into different size and shape groups using spiraling.
Quenching creates superior particle integrity by minimizing stress cracks. Then, the steel shots
are checked for quality and specification. The final process involves packaging into bags.
