Wire Cut Shot 1.2mm

Stainless Steel Wire Cut Shot 1.2mm is produced by Shandong Haishan Industrial Technology, a manufacturer with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons and exports to over 50 countries. This abrasive is cut from selected stainless steel wire and is intended for surface preparation where iron contamination must be avoided. It is suitable for thin plates, precision castings, and non‑ferrous metal parts. The product is available in both passivated rounded and native sharp edge forms to match different cleaning and finishing requirements.

Material and Manufacturing Control

The raw material is stainless steel wire, typically grade 304, 430, or 410. The wire is cut with a controlled length‑to‑diameter ratio of 1:1. Depending on the application, the cut particles can be passivated to round the edges or left with native sharp edges. Hardness control is achieved through material selection and optional heat treatment. For martensitic grades such as 410, hardness can be raised to HRC 40‑46 after heat treatment. Austenitic grades such as 304 maintain lower hardness but offer better corrosion resistance.

Each production batch is tested for chemical composition, dimensional tolerance, and hardness before release. Test methods follow SAE J444 and DIN 8201 where applicable.

Technical Specifications

Chemical Composition of Stainless Steel Cut Wire Shot

Values are typical for standard stainless steel grades. Actual composition may vary slightly according to the specific heat.

Mechanical Properties of Stainless Steel Cut Wire Shot

Hardness for 410 can be adjusted within the stated range. For austenitic grades, hardness is typically measured on the Rockwell B scale due to lower values.

Performance Characteristics

• No iron contamination: Stainless steel media does not leave rust stains on treated surfaces, making it suitable for stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and other non‑ferrous workpieces.
• Low particle breakage: The regular cylindrical shape and good toughness reduce micro‑cracking during blasting. This lowers dust generation and extends the media life compared to high carbon steel cut wire shot.
• Controlled surface roughness: The moderate impact force is effective on thin plates and small castings without causing substrate damage or excessive roughness.
• Two edge options: Passivated rounded edges are recommended for surface strengthening and precision finishing. Native sharp edges are better for rapid deburring and light welding slag removal.
• Wide size range: Custom diameters from 0.2mm to 3.0mm are available, with cutting ratios tailored to the application.

Product Limitation

This Wire Cut Shot 1.2mm is designed for moderate rust and conventional deburring. It is not recommended for removing thick multi‑layer welding slag or heavy high‑temperature oxide scale in one pass. For such conditions, a composite abrasive plan or coarser stainless steel cut wire shot may be needed.

Application Cases

The following examples come from customer records. Names are not disclosed, but test data are on file for verification.

• Precision casting supplier: Used passivated 1.2mm stainless steel cut wire shot to remove light burrs and scale from stainless steel investment castings. Surface roughness was maintained below Ra 3.2 µm, and no iron contamination was detected after blasting.
• Automotive parts manufacturer: Applied native sharp edge stainless steel cut wire shot for deburring aluminum die‑cast housings. The process reduced manual rework by 30% and eliminated rust spots caused by previous carbon steel media.
• Pipeline maintenance company: Used stainless steel cut wire shot to remove light rust from the inner wall of food‑grade stainless steel pipes. The media life exceeded that of glass bead by a factor of 4, and the surface remained free of embedded particles.

Application Scope

This Wire Cut Shot 1.2mm is suitable for surface preparation where iron contamination is unacceptable. Typical applications include:

• Deburring and finishing of stainless steel, aluminum, and copper components
• Light rust removal from thin plates and precision castings
• Inner wall cleaning of pipes and vessels in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries
• Surface beautification of automotive stamping parts and hardware accessories
• Pre‑coating treatment for thin‑walled and non‑ferrous workpieces

Not suitable for heavy‑duty descaling or thick welding slag removal.

Quality Assurance

Haishan controls quality through the entire production chain. Incoming stainless steel wire is verified by spectrometer before cutting. The in‑house laboratory is equipped with an Irwin fatigue life tester and a SPECTRO direct‑reading spectrometer for chemical and mechanical analysis. Hardness, size distribution, and corrosion resistance are checked on each batch. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. Products comply with SAE J444 and relevant DIN standards. We have exported to more than 50 countries and maintain complete traceability from raw material to final shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which stainless steel grade should I choose for my application?

Grade 304 offers the best corrosion resistance and is the most common choice for general non‑ferrous cleaning. Grade 430 is more economical and has slightly lower corrosion resistance. Grade 410 can be heat treated to higher hardness (HRC 40‑46) for applications that require more aggressive cleaning without iron contamination. Our technical team can help you select the right grade based on your workpiece material and cleanliness requirements.

Can stainless steel cut wire shot be used on aluminum or copper parts?

Yes. Stainless steel media is widely used on aluminum and copper because it does not leave rust stains or cause galvanic corrosion. The mild impact also helps avoid surface deformation on soft metals. Passivated edges are recommended for best surface finish.

Does this product generate less dust than carbon steel cut wire shot?

Yes, in most applications. Stainless steel cut wire shot has a tougher core and better fatigue resistance, which reduces particle breakage and dust formation during blasting. This is particularly beneficial for indoor operations and cleanroom environments.

What is the difference between passivated and native sharp edge stainless steel cut wire shot?

Passivated cut wire shot has rounded edges and is used for surface strengthening and finishing where a smoother surface is required. Native sharp edge cut wire shot retains the sharp cutting edges from the cutting process and is better for rapid deburring and light scale removal. Both forms are available in all sizes.

What packaging options are available?

Regular sizes are stocked in 25kg moisture‑proof valve bags or 1,000kg bulk bags on pallets. Custom packaging for smaller or larger quantities can be arranged. We support sea and air freight to global destinations.
