Jain Cut Wire Shot are made of cold drawn spring steel wire with a high content of carbon (C) and is obtained by cutting wire into lengths equal to the wire diameter, and then making it round if necessary through the conditioning (rounding) process. The quality is assured in cut-wire shot because the wire from which it has been produced is heat treated and cold drawn to achieve hardness and homogeneity. This, together with the balanced chemical properties and complete solidity of every piece, insure that cut-wire shot will not fracture, break or powder while in use.
Application
Steel Cut Wire Shots, also known as pellets, are widely used for cleaning, deburring, descaling, fettling, and shot peening on iron and steel components. Available in various hardness levels, these shots offer flexibility to suit different applications. Generally, higher hardness results in lower durability, but the surface finish achieved with Steel Cut Wire Shots is exceptionally bright and smooth. Unlike other abrasives, these shots are free from scales or oxides, produce no dust, and leave surfaces cleaner and brighter. Their whole-bodied structure ensures superior performance in maintaining surface integrity.
Specs
Steel Cut Wire Shots are made from high-quality carbon steel wire, typically exhibiting a hardness between 40-50 HRC. They are available in cylindrical shapes with diameters ranging from 0.25 mm to 2.5 mm and a density of approximately 7.85 g/cm³. These shots are ideal for surface preparation tasks such as cleaning, deburring, and shot peening, and they are suitable for use on various metals and non-ferrous materials. Packaged in bulk bags or drums, Steel Cut Wire Shots comply with industry standards like SAE J441 and offer long-lasting performance with excellent wear resistance.
Specification
Carbon Steel Cut Wire Shot
Carbon Steel Cut Wire Shot is a popular alternative to cast steel abrasives. This is particularly used for peening/blasting applications where a higher level of abrasive hardness is desirable or when components to be peened/blasted have a high level of inherent hardness. It is ideal abrasives for shot peening/blasting operation.

Higher-Manganese Low-Carbon Condition Wire Shot
If components are blasted with wire shot to produce the surface finish, production economy plays a significant role, apart from the positive optical effects. If the component hardness is 40 HRC or less, then low-hardness High-Manganese steel cut wire shot is the first choice.
