Mild Steel Shot

Mild Steel shot refers to spherical grains made from molten steel through an atomization process, available in several sizes and hardnesses. These cast steel shots are available in different sizes & hardness. Steel shots are manufactured from steel scrap.

Why Mild steel shots are used for?

Mild Steel retains less energy and may not kill birds cleanly at the same ranges. Steel with equivalent weight and shot size contains more pellets than lead, making loads that contain more shot than necessary. Compensate for the lighter weight by employing a shot one or two sizes larger than the lead shot size.

Classification of mild steel shots

Basis

Steel Shots

Solid Steel Shots

Raw Material

Basis raw material has lower physical property & composition

Raw Material is of exact composition without any material defect (blow holes, porosity, shrinkage, etc.), and wear out nominally during its use.

Hardness

Various a lot(40-50 HRC)

Marginal variation(50-52 HRC)

Dust

High Dust Generation

No dust generation

Grain Size

Varies a lot

No variation

Performance Consistency

Lower consistency as size & hardness varies a lot

High consistency as size & hardness have no variation

Time Consumption

Higher Consumption

Reduces time for shot blasting

Inventory Cost

Higher inventory due to high consumption, more money & space required

Saves on inventory cost, eventually reducing operating cost
