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.

Technical Specifications:

Material Composition: Pure aluminum (Al ≥ 99%) or alloyed aluminum shot (based on customer requirements)

Appearance: Smooth, spherical or irregular granular particles

Size Range: Available in various sizes from 1mm to 10mm diameter (customizable based on application)

Bulk Density: 1.4 - 1.8 g/cm³ (varies based on shot size and grade)

Hardness: Typically 20-30 HB (Brinell hardness)

Advantages:

Eco-Friendly: Aluminum shot is non-toxic and environmentally friendly due to its recyclability and low energy consumption during production.

Cost-Effective: Its lightweight nature reduces transportation and handling costs compared to heavier shot materials like steel or iron.

Surface Finish Quality: Produces smooth and polished finishes without contaminating the treated surfaces.

Improved Alloy Properties: Enhances the quality of metal alloys by acting as a deoxidizer, improving the strength and durability of castings.

Packaging: Available in 25 kg bags, 500 kg bulk bags, or customized packaging as per customer requirements.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture to maintain product efficacy.
