Precision Electrolytic Copper Cut Wire Shots

Shiv Impex produces high-purity copper cut wire shots specifically designed for non-destructive surface preparation, deburring, and color-matched cleaning of non-ferrous components.

Manufactured from premium copper wire cold-cut to precise lengths where length equals diameter (L=D), our copper shots provide an optimal balance of impact mass and surface softness, preventing pitting or dimensional changes on delicate precision parts.

Key Metallurgical Features:

  • Gentle Impact: Hardness of 110-160 HV removes burrs and flash without abrading mother metal.
  • Color Matching: Leaves an attractive natural copper tone without galvanic oxidation risks.
  • Zero Ferrous Contamination: Eliminates rust spots and surface pitting on brass and bronze valves.
  • High Density (~8.9 g/cm³): Delivers sufficient kinetic energy at lower blast pressures.

Primary Applications for Copper Shots

Brass & Bronze Valves

Deburring and finishing internal valve ports, water meters, and plumbing fittings without removing thread tolerances.

Non-Ferrous Forgings

Removal of oxide scales and lubrication residues from hot-forged brass and copper electrical contact components.

Electrical & Switchgear Parts

Surface brightening and oxide removal on busbars, circuit breaker contacts, and copper commutators.
