Steel shot is a spherical metallic abrasive produced by the molten steel by means of an atomizing process. Metalworking industries are the main users of Steel Shot: ferrous and non-ferrous foundries, steel mills, coating, forge shops and the metal fabricators, sand removal and to change the metal surface preparation, etc. since its method is not an abrasive one hence steel shot produces the least level of dust.

Steel Shot is a solid round particle causing a peening action and producing a smooth surface. Its heavyweight gives greater impact and hammering action for cleaning heavy forgings and removing heat-treating scale. In peening action, the shot is used to impart the compressive strength of critical metal parts. This technique is widely used in the manufacturing of aircraft and ground vehicles to strengthen critical parts such as crankshafts, engine turbine blades, and heavy-duty springs. It is widely used in blast rooms and airless wheel blasters for cleaning, polishing, and finishing various metal parts.
By the atomizing process of molten steel, steel shot is produced. Steel shot is widely used in the metalworking industries for various shot blasting applications because of its non-abrasive process. Steel shot produce less dust and can be reused easily. In shot blasting cabinet dust collector is used for dust-free process and in this recycling of blasting media will be done easily. In cabinet type blasting machine dust bags are used and they collect the usable blasting media in dust tray and fine power which is waste is trapped in dust bags. Dust collector use in cabinet depends on the type of dust and blasting media used for the blasting process. Steel shot help in removing old paint, rust, or any kind of containment from the surface of the substrate and provide an excellent surface that is free of defects. Steel shot is used for surface preparation so that the surface can be prepared for further operations like painting and thermal spray coating. Steel shot also help in many other surface treatment processes like; cleaning, de-scaling, and debugging.
