Cold Forge Steel Aggregate & Shot

W Abrasives™ Low cost, cold worked steel aggregate could be your cost effective option for blasting

*Only available in North America at this time. 

In the ever-evolving world of surface preparation, cold forge steel abrasive is emerging as a groundbreaking solution, meeting the demands of industries seeking sustainable, efficient and low cost alternatives. Our Cold Forged Steel Abrasives and Aggregates are made from 100% recycled forged carbon steel having a microstructure that contributes to high fracture toughness and high density. Ideal for ballasts, counterweights and aggregates for heavy concrete fabrication, it is also a cost-effective solution for many shot blasting and cleaning applications.

  • COLD FORGE STEEL SHOT 

Cold Forge Steel Shot is a wrought carbon steel blast media whose performance is comparable in durability and cleaning to that of standard SAE grades of steel shot. The wrought steel micro-structure contributes to high strength, great fracture resistance and long life. It has a unique particle shape and higher specific density of 7.8g/cc versus cast steel shot and grit, which could reduce your cleaning cycle with no increase in maintenance cost. 

 

  • COLD FORGE STEEL GRIT GN 

Cold Forge Steel Grit GN blast media is produced by a proprietary cold forged process giving a good blast media with a hardness of 44Rc, the same hardness as high carbon SG/GP Hardness grit. 

  • COLD FORGE STEEL BALLAST 

With its high specific density of 7.8 g/cc, our cold forge steel material is often the preferred solution for the typical applications: 

Counterweights, Ship Ballast, Athletic Wear/Equipment, Bottom Poured Coolant Materials. 

  

  • COLD FORGE STEEL AGGREGATE FOR HEAVY WEIGHT CONCRETE 

Used for heavy weight concrete, Winoa USA manufactures this low cost, free flowing, oil and moisture free, cold worked Steel aggregates for Concrete Block, such as Radiation Shielding. 

Its properties make it superior for all high-density applications to many other material.
