FERROSAD made from the finest steel Quality is the key to the success of FERROSAD. As with any product, the quality depends on the component parts. We only use clean deep drawing quality scrap with low values of phosphorus and sulphur. In manufacturing FERROSAD we control additions of high quality alloys which, in the correct combinations guarantee high quality. FERROSAD has the right hardness and breaks down more slowly than shot with higher carbon levels due to its controlled levels of carbon and high manganese content. FERROSAD has a tough, wear resistant bainitic microstructure which is virtually free of shrinkage and slag inclusions. FERROSAD is categorised as a bright spherical metallic cast steel shot which does not suffer from quench cracks. After a few cycles in the machine, the operating mix achieves its optimum hardness for the best blasting results which in turn generates increased productivity and efficiency.
