Leeco® Steel offers shot blasting services to remove mill scale and other surface residues from its steel plate products, allowing customers to apply surface finishes with ease.
What is Shot Blasting?
Shot blasting – also known as abrasive shot blasting – is a common method for cleaning and polishing steel plate. During the shot blasting process, a small steel shot abrasive about the size of a sand grain is blasted at the material’s surface. Combined with great force, the steel shot abrasive removes surface residue from the material without damaging its surface. Request a Quote
