Zinc Shot

Zinc Shot  (Zinc Cut Wire Shot )

Zinc cut wire abrasive offers a media of very low Rockwell B hardness (20 - 30) suitable for use in deburring die castings.  Zinc shot is capable of removing flash up to .020 " from die castings.  Zinc shot also leaves a deposition of zinc on the work object that provides corrosion resistance.  Zinc shot is also used to strip paint and powder coatings.  The softness of the zinc shot is very effective at removing coatings without damaging tooling.  Zinc cut wire shot is available in sizes ranging from .024 inches (.61 mm) to .125 inches (3.2 mm). Additional sizes for specific applications are also available.
