Steel Shot (LC Low Carbon)
Our aim is to focus on the features that make your products perfect in processes such as vibration, blasting, painting and shotpeening. This is exactly why we have a versatile.surface treatment center and product range.
For detailed information
Where is it used?
Low carbon steel shot is a very economical abrasive for surface treatment of metallic products. Compared to the high carbon version, the low carbon content provides longer service life.
