Nickel Cut wire shots are used in sand blasting and wheel blasting Equipment. The Cut Wire Shot is the media of choice for peening, cleaning, tumbling, and vibratory finishing. It is widely used in wheel blast equipment and sand blasting. Nickel Cut Wire Shots are Highly durable and very long-life shots feature uniform hardness and dimensionally because of high durability all the items are high tensile strength and good abrasion. Nickel cut wire shots are a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Physical Properties Shapes and Sizes of Nickel Cut Wire Shots
The size of nickel cut wire shots are cylindrical or rounded in shape and according to the shape are 0.35 to 3.20 mm. The hardness of the cut wire shots is 50-58 HRC. The density of the nickel cut wire shots is 4.5 g per cm cube. There are mainly three grades i.e. G1, G2, G3. Conditioned Cut wire shots are 100% solid in nature. Due to its high durability, it improves work efficiency and manages time.

- Economical
- Environmental
- lowest consumption
- Stabilized grain size
- Faster cleaning
- Uniform hardness
- Increased fatigue load on blasted parts, etc.
Applications of Nickel Cut Wire Shots
The application of nickel cut wire shots is for removal of dust, heat, rust, removal of paint loose particle, portable sand blasting and wheel blasting machine, surface finishing, smoothening, shot peening, shot blasting, grit blasting, grit removal, removing dust, rust removal, and blast cleaning, etc. It reduces manufacturing time. All types of cleaning by sandblasting machine.
Nickel cut wire shots are used for removing oxidation, reducing surface defects, preventing rust before painting metal surface, precision casting, machinery components manufacturing, automobile spare parts, pump valve industry, etc.
