Round steel shot is manufactured from high-carbon steel and is specifically designed for applications that require a rebound effect and maximum energy transfer. Its durability and efficiency make it ideal for surface treatment processes, ensuring optimal cleaning and preparation results.

Metal industries - which represent a world market of more than 1 million tons of abrasives:
- Surface cleaning : in the foundry (sand removal and cleaning of parts), in the forge and stainless steel industry (descaling). - Surface preparation : cleaning, surface roughening to ensure optimum adherence of paint and coatings. - Surface enhancement : shot peening treatment against deformation, wear and corrosion.
Stone industry - which consumes a little over 155 000 tons of abrasives per year: granite cutting by abrasive in a liquid suspension, the abrasive circulates inside gangsaws and is used for cutting stone blocks into thin slabs.
Other applications have been of use in the mining industry (with Millpebs) and in the building and civil engineering sector (production of WearGrit, a new ultra-high performance concrete based on steel abrasives). Finally, the physical properties of the steel abrasives make it a very interesting material for precision ballasting.
The round steel shots are used with succes for shot blasting all types of metal surfaces.
