What is Shot Blasting?

For those of you who are not familiar with shot blasting, let’s put it this way. Shot blasting is the ideal process for high-volume blasting/peening applications of castings, forged, welded, and heat-treated parts of any dimensions and shapes and also all structural steel.

As opposed to sandblasting process which uses an air-powered blasting nozzle to propel abrasive media with a high degree of precision, shot blasting uses special motorized blast wheels to sling metallic abrasive at a desired RPM over overt parts at a much faster rate and larger coverage.
