Cut Wire Shot is a popular alternative to cast steel abrasives, and finds specific applications where cast materials do not offer adequate performance. This is specifically so for peening applications where a higher level of abrasive hardness and uniformity of size is desirable or when components to be peened have a high level of inherent hardness. In order to achieve repeatable peening results, the ideal peening media should contain particles of identical size, shape, hardness and density. Syncut™ are manufactured from wire strand, cut to lengths equal to its diameter virtually identical particles in size, shape, hardness and density and thus a media ideally suited for peening purposes.
Syncut™ Carbon Steel and Cut Wire Stainless Steel are supplied in 3 forms depending on the requirements of the application i.e.
(A) As Cut (cylindrical with sharp edges),
(B) Partially Conditioned (corners rounded off)
(C) Fully Conditioned (spherical).
Syncut™ in Stainless Steel work hardens with use, resulting in to an extremely long abrasive life span. The almost uniform size range of the Syncut™ particles ensures consistent and repeatable results are achieved when used for surface finishing and treatment of metallic materials. Syncut™ Carbon Steel shots are very versatile and durable when compared to cast steel abrasives, due to virtually no internal flaws, i.e. porosity, shrinkage, cracks etc.
