Application Range
This cast steel abrasive is intended for a wide range of jobs, such as:
1. Surface cleaning: Castings, forgings, die-castings, steel plates, H-shaped steel, structural steel
2. Derusting and descaling: Castings, forgings, steel plates, H-shaped steel, structural steel
3. Surface strengthening: Gears, heat-treated parts
4. Shot blasting: Steel plates, steel profiles
5. Shot peening: Steel plates, steel profiles
6. Desanding: Steel plates, steel profiles
7. Pretreatment before painting: Steel plates, steel profiles, structural steel
Detailed Application Information
1. GP Steel Grit
The GP steel grit is a kind of angular metal abrasive that will lose its sharpness during operation, and it is suited to remove mill scale from steel plates.
2. GL Steel Grit
The GL steel grit will also lost its sharpness during shot blasting though it has higher hardness when compared to GP steel grit, and it is particularly suitable for the descaling of steel plates.
3. GH Steel Grit
With a very high hardness level, the GH steel grit maintains its angularity during operation, and it offers an effective solution to create regular yet etched surface. This kind of cast steel grit is highly recommended when working performance is of top priority than price, like dealing with rollers for cold mills. In addition, this product is designed specifically for air blast operations.
Applicable Equipment
The cast steel grit fits for a number of metal surface treatment machines, like:
1. Barrel blast machine, overhead rail shot blast machine, rubber belt tumble blast machine, pass-through monorail blast machine, turntable shot blasting machine, spinner hanger shot blasting machine, rotary table shot blast machine, wire mesh belt shot blast machine, steel pipe shot blasting machine, coil spring shot blasting machine and other shot blasting equipment.
2. Shot peening machine, derusting equipment, steel plate pretreatment line
3. Sanding machine for aluminum alloy, zinc alloy and stainless steel
4. Specialized metal surface cleaning equipment for carbon rods, auto parts, motorcycle accessories, marine anchor chains, construction machinery, steel profiles, steel constructions, etc.
