Austenitic and Ferritic stainless grades.

SURFACE FINISH

Bright Rust-Free Satin

Zero free-iron embedment or discoloration.

Ultra-Clean Stainless Steel Cut Wire Shots

Shiv Impex manufactures premier Stainless Steel Cut Wire Shots engineered for surface cleaning, deburring, and shot peening where ferrous dust contamination cannot be tolerated.

When standard carbon steel shots are used on non-ferrous workpieces like aluminum castings or stainless steel vessels, microscopic iron particles embed into the surface and oxidize, resulting in severe rust stains. Our stainless steel shots guarantee a 100% rust-free, bright metallic finish with extended media life.

Available Alloy Series:

  • AISI 304 (Austenitic): High nickel/chromium content for maximum corrosion resistance and bright satin finishing on aluminum castings.
  • AISI 430 (Ferritic): High-strength magnetic stainless grade with high hardness for rapid deburring of zinc die castings.
  • AISI 316 (Marine/Medical): Molybdenum-bearing stainless media for surgical implants, pharma reactors, and marine valves.
  • Conditioned Spheres (G1/G2/G3): Smooth spherical geometry for aerospace titanium and turbine blade peening.
