SandBlasting Media – Metal – Steel Cut Wire

Steel Cut Wire (CW Type)

Steel Cut Wire (CCW Type)

Steel Cut Wire (DCCW Type)

Steel Cut Wire (SCCW Type)

Carbon steel cut wire is very versatile and durable when compared to cast steel abrasives, due to virtual no internal flaws, porosity, shrinkage, cracks etc. Its higher density also offers a higher blast impact when compared with cast steel abrasives.

The ideal peening media should contain particles of identical size, shape, hardness and density in order to produce repeatable peening results. Carbon steel cut wire is manufactured from wire strand, cut to lengths equal to its diameter. This result in particles virtually identical in size, shape, hardness and density and thus a media ideally suited for peening purposes. It will work harden during the operation and lead to an extremely long abrasive life.
