Steel sand, also known as steel grit, is a type of abrasive material commonly used in industries such as construction, metalworking, and surface preparation. It is made from crushed steel and is known for its high durability and hardness.
One of the key advantages of steel sand is its ability to be recycled and reused multiple times. After use, it can be collected, cleaned, and processed to remove any impurities, making it suitable for further applications. This not only reduces waste but also lowers the overall cost of abrasive materials.
Steel sand is available in different sizes and hardness levels to suit various applications. The size of the particles determines the level of aggressiveness, with finer particles providing a smoother finish and coarser particles offering more aggressive cleaning. The hardness of the steel sand is measured on the Rockwell scale, with higher hardness levels providing better cutting and cleaning capabilities.
