China Steel Cut Wire Shot Suppliers & Factory - High Hardness Steel Cutting Shot for Abrasive Applications

Steel cut wire is a premium product crafted from recycled steel materials such as used bead wires and steel ropes. This innovative production process involves cutting these wires into granules using specialized cutting machines. Available in both cylindrical and spherical shapes, our steel cut wire ranges in sizes from CW1.0mm to CW3.0mm. With a hardness exceeding that of traditional steel shots—typically above 50HRC—our steel cut wire ensures superior performance. Utilizing advanced rounding technology, we also offer steel cut shots in a spherical form. As a leading China supplier, we take pride in our state-of-the-art factory that guarantees high-quality steel cut wire products tailored to meet diverse industrial needs

    Product Applications

    Steel cut wires are made of national standard bead wires, widely used in machinery, automobile, shipbuilding, steel structure, pipeline and other manufacturing profiles and workpiece surface cleaning, strengthening and other processes. Through the high-speed operation of the shot blasting machine, the steel cut wire shot is thrown to the surface of the workpiece in the form of a parabola at high speed, so as to clean up the rust and oxide on the surface of the product and achieve a certain finish and roughness. The most popular size is CW1.5mm, and the hardness is higher than 50HRC.

    In view of its higher hardness, mostly higher than 50HRC, so it is easier to scuff the workpiece materials, especially to some parts which be with lower hardness, especially lower than 48HRC. So usually it is suggested to blast workpieces to mix with steel shots or steel grits for shotblasting, and should to use similar sizes type. Currently also some customers use Low carbon steel shots to mix with steel cut wire shots to blast workpieces and got very good effects.

    Q&A

    1. What sizes are available?
    Mainly we supply CW1.0mm, CW1.2mm, CW1.5mm, CW1.8mm, CW2.0mm, CW2.5mm, CW2.8mm, CW3.0mm.
    2. What types of steel cut wire can be supplying?
    Both of steel cut wire and conditioned cut wire are available from our company.
    3. What is the standard hardness of the steel cut wire shot?
    The hardness is typically higher than 50HRC, which makes it highly effective for surface cleaning and strengthening processes.
    4. What raw materials are used to manufacture these steel cut wires?
    Our steel cut wires are manufactured using high-quality national standard bead wires.
    5. How can I prevent scuffing on workpieces with lower hardness?
    For workpieces with a hardness lower than 48HRC, it is suggested to mix the steel cut wire shots with steel shots or steel grits of similar sizes. Alternatively, mixing with low carbon steel shots also delivers excellent blasting results.
    6. What is the most widely used size of steel cut wire shot?
    The most popular and widely used size for general industrial applications is CW1.5mm.
