When cleaning and rust removal of casting surfaces, the size of the steel shot will affect the cleaning effect and surface roughness. Generally speaking, using smaller steel shots can obtain a finer surface, but the cleaning speed is slower; using larger steel shots can clean faster, but the surface roughness is greater. Common steel shot sizes are 1.7mm, 2.5mm, etc. When choosing the size of steel shot, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the size, shape, surface roughness requirements of the casting, and the capacity of the cleaning equipment. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the hardness and material of the steel shot to ensure that it can effectively remove rust and dirt on the surface of the casting without causing damage to the casting.
