Improved Consistency - Cut Wire Shots exhibits the highest consistency from particle to particle in size, shape, density, and hardness of any commonly used metallic media.
Highest Durability - Because of its wrought internal structure with almost no internal defects (cracks, porosity, shrinkage, etc.), the Durability (Life) of Cut Wire Shot media can be many times that of cast shot of equivalent size and hardness. Life testing in Laboratory and Production equipment have measured the Life of Cut Wire Shot to be as much as 2 to 3 times that of equivalent size and Hardness cast media.
Dust Generation - Since Cut Wire Shots exhibits the highest Durability and Resistance to Fracture, it also exhibits the lowest dust generation rate of the commonly used media.
Lowest Surface Contamination - All metallic media leave a residue on the surface of the part being blasted or shot peened. Those media that fracture rapidly can leave tiny broken particles, dust embedded in the part surface. Steel Cut Wire Shots does not break down as quickly as other media and does not tend to fracture into the tiny particles that may embed themselves into the part surface.
