Steel Shot 230 (.58mm) - Abrasive Media, Shot Peening Media, Blast Media, Cleaning Media (10lb)

Steel shot size 230 (.58mm or .023in) is a highly versatile abrasive with a wide range of applications across numerous industries. Its most common use is surface cleaning and preparation, where it effectively removes rust, scale, paint, and other contaminants from metal surfaces, making them ready for painting, coating, or further processing. Beyond cleaning, steel shot 230 is also crucial in shot peening, a process that enhances the fatigue life and strength of metal parts by inducing compressive stress. It excels at descaling forgings, castings, and heat-treated components, removing unwanted scale buildup. Furthermore, this size of steel shot is useful for deburring machined parts, eliminating sharp edges and burrs, and can even be employed to achieve specific surface finishes, from matte to polished, depending on the desired outcome.
