What Are Steel Shots?

Steel shots are round, hardened particles made from high-carbon steel. They are manufactured by atomizing molten steel, followed by heat treatment and quenching to achieve the desired hardness (typically 40–51HRC) and microstructure.

These metallic abrasives are used in:

Surface cleaning
Rust and scale removal
Surface texturing
Shot peening to improve fatigue strength

As a trusted steel shots manufacturer Saudi Arabia, our product range is engineered for consistent blasting performance, long service life, and minimal dust emissions.

Key Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia

1. Shot Blasting and Cleaning

Removes corrosion, mill scale, weld slag, and contaminants.
Applied in pipeline rehabilitation, storage tank cleaning, and steel structure maintenance.

. Shot Peening

Induces compressive stress on metallic surfaces to extend fatigue life.
Crucial in oilfield tools, gas turbine blades, and automotive springs.
Common in Yanbu, Dammam, and Riyadh-based component manufacturers.

3. Surface Preparation

Used prior to coating, painting, galvanizing, or lining.
Guarantees optimal surface roughness (Ra/Rz) for superior coating adhesion.

4. Descaling and Deburring

Removes oxide layers and burrs after forging, rolling, or machining.
Improves product safety, dimensional accuracy, and appearance.

How Steel Shot Blasting Works

Steel shot blasting is one of the most effective and eco-friendly surface preparation techniques. It involves propelling spherical steel media onto a surface using:

Centrifugal wheel blast machines (for continuous or high-volume operations)
Compressed air-blast systems (for intricate parts or fieldwork)

Process Benefits:

Uniform cleaning and finishing
Low dust and environmental impact
Minimal abrasive loss
Enhanced coating adhesion and finish quality
Choosing the Right Size:

Shot Size Application Finish

S110–S230 Precision parts, peening Fine finish

S280–S390 Structural steel, auto parts Medium

S460–S780 Ship hulls, tanks, heavy castings Rough cleaning
