Winona Van Norman S-110 Steel Shot is a premium, fine-grade abrasive designed for industrial applications that demand high precision and a superior surface finish. Measuring approximately 0.011 inches (0.28 mm) in diameter, this spherical steel shot operates through a specialized "peening" action, striking surfaces with rounded force to clean and strengthen without the aggressive etching associated with angular grit. It is an essential media for light scale removal, descaling heat-treated parts, and cleaning intricate machined components where maintaining exact dimensional integrity is critical. For automotive engine parts and structural components, S-110 provides a consistent, high-quality result in both high-speed wheel blast machines and pneumatic air blasting cabinets.
Beyond standard cleaning, Winona Van Norman 110 grit steel shot excels in shot peening to significantly enhance the fatigue resistance of high-stress parts like gears, springs, and camshafts. By inducing compressive stress, it helps prevent stress corrosion cracking and extends the operational lifespan of metal workpieces. It is also the ideal choice for surface preparation on thin sheet metal, offering a uniform profile for paint and powder coating adhesion without the risk of warping. Whether you are deburring copper alloys, brightening aluminum, or profiling concrete, this versatile S-110 abrasive delivers a polished, professional finish that meets the rigorous standards of modern manufacturing and foundry operations.
