Maximize your industrial throughput with Winona Van Norman S-170 Steel Shot, the definitive "workhorse" of the medium-fine abrasive category. Engineered with a precise 0.017-inch diameter, this high-carbon cast steel shot delivers the increased kinetic energy required for high-efficiency descaling, effortlessly stripping away stubborn mill scale, heavy rust, and carbon deposits from forged steel parts. Optimized for high-velocity wheel blast systems and air pressure cabinets, the S-170 provides an aggressive cleaning action that outperforms smaller S-70 or S-110 media while maintaining a smooth, professional finish. It eliminates the risk of deep pitting, making it the ideal sandblasting media for medium-sized castings, structural steel sections, and industrial machinery parts that require a spotless, bare-metal surface.

Beyond surface cleaning, this industrial abrasive is a critical tool for enhancing the longevity and durability of metal fabrications through structural peening. By inducing compressive stress on the metal surface, it significantly improves resistance to mechanical fatigue and environmental wear. The S-170 creates a consistent surface roughness (anchor profile) that ensures superior coating adhesion for powder coating, industrial painting, and plating applications. Backed by the Winona Van Norman legacy of American industrial excellence, this durable steel shot offers a low breakdown rate and high recyclability, providing a cost-effective solution for rim cleaning, floor blasting, and general metal resurfacing.
