Aluminum Shot - Product
Aluminum Shot
Aluminum Shot consists of small, spherical or granular particles of aluminum, commonly used in a variety of industrial processes such as cleaning, polishing, surface preparation, and alloy production. It is made from high-purity aluminum and is known for its excellent recyclability, lightweight nature, and corrosion resistance. Aluminum shot is widely used in foundries, smelting, and metal casting industries due to its efficiency and versatility in improving surface finishes and refining metal alloys.
- Product Category: Abrasive & Material
Applications:
Shot Blasting: Used in surface preparation for cleaning and polishing metal surfaces, removing rust, scale, and old coatings.
Alloying Agent: Acts as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in aluminum and other metal smelting processes.
Foundry Applications: Widely used in die casting and foundries for refining molten metal and improving mechanical properties of metal castings.
Aerospace and Automotive: Utilized in the production and treatment of parts in the aerospace and automotive industries for polishing and surface strengthening.
Recycling and Refining: Helps in refining scrap aluminum for remelting in the recycling industry.
