    Material selection of shot blasting chamber

    High manganese steel (ZGMn13)

    Characteristics: Excellent impact resistance

    Advantages: A hardened layer will be formed on the surface under continuous impact

    Applicable to: Cleaning of large castings

    Note: A running-in period is required for initial use


    Wear-resistant alloy steel (NM400/NM500)

    Characteristics: Hardness reaches HRC50 or above

    Advantages: Outstanding wear resistance

    Applicable to: Continuous working environment

    Note: Welding process requirements are high


    Rubber lining

    Characteristics: Good buffering performance

    Advantages: Effectively reduce noise

    Applicable to: Thin-walled parts processing

    Note: Regular inspection and replacement are required

    Recommended materials for core components

    Shot blasting machine blades

    Preferred: High chromium cast iron (Cr26/Cr28)

    Characteristics: Hardness HRC58-65

    Lifespan: Up to 5-10 times that of ordinary steel

    Maintenance: 500-1 000-hour replacement cycle


    Shot wheel assembly

    Recommendation: Same material as blades

    Purpose: Ensure wear consistency

    Advantage: Extend overall service life

    Key points for shot selection

    Conventional selection

    Cast steel shot: Best value for money

    Stainless steel shot: First choice for rust prevention

    Wire cut shot: Efficient cleaning


    Special needs

    Ceramic shot: Precision parts processing

    Glass shot: High requirements for surface finish


    Practical selection scheme

    Economic configuration

    Chamber body: NM400 steel plate

    Blade: Cr26

    Shot: Cast steel shot


    Durable configuration

    Chamber body: ZGMn13 composite structure

    Blade: Cr28

    Shot: Stainless steel shot

    Corrosion-resistant configuration

    Chamber body: 304 stainless steel

    Shot: Ceramic shot


    Recommendations for use

    Regularly check the status of wearing parts

    Maintain appropriate maintenance cycle

    Adjust parameters according to working conditions

    Establish spare parts replacement records
