What is Steel Shot Blasting?

Steel shot blasting is a powerful way to clean and strengthen metal surfaces. It works by shooting tiny steel balls at high speed against the metal. These steel balls, or “shot,” are small and round, designed to hit the surface with just the right amount of force.

We can control how the shot hits the metal by using either compressed air or spinning wheels to propel it. This lets us treat all kinds of metal parts, big or small, with great precision.

The result is a metal surface that’s clean, smooth, and uniform. This makes it perfect for painting, coating, or using as-is. Many industries rely on steel shot blasting, from car makers to airplane builders, because it’s so effective at preparing metal for use or further treatment.
