Isoshot — a new development in the manufacture of steel shot

Abstract

Service life or consumption rate of any reusable blast cleaning or shot peening abrasive is dependent upon its toughness and ability to withstand repeated impact. In cast steel abrasives, both structural and physical factors influence this. Isothermal, specifically austempering, heat treatment techniques are well established processes which can offer superior toughness and impact characteristics to both steels and irons. IsoShot is a new, bainitic, cast steel shot produced using an austempering technique.
