A small grain that makes a big difference
Quality is the foundation of FERROSAD’s success. Using only clean deep‑drawing scrap with low phosphorus and sulphur, FERROSAD ensures consistent purity. Controlled additions of high‑quality alloys guarantee reliable performance, while balanced carbon and high manganese content provide the right hardness and slower breakdown compared to high‑carbon shot. Its tough, wear‑resistant bainitic microstructure is virtually free of shrinkage and slag inclusions. As a bright, spherical metallic cast steel shot, FERROSAD resists quench cracks and quickly achieves optimum hardness in operation, delivering superior blasting results, increased productivity, and efficiency.
FERROSAD made from the finest steel
Low carbon steel abrasive offers exceptional durability and longevity thanks to its virtually crack‑free structure. The optimised microstructure formed directly after granulation eliminates the need for subsequent heat treatment. In contrast, high carbon steel abrasives often develop surface cracks during atomisation due to their higher hardness. When subjected to the necessary heat treatment, these cracks can enlarge, further reducing performance and reliability.

Durability
The low-carbon steel abrasive is produced from high-quality steel scrap. Due to its low carbon content and its purity with regard to harmful elements such as phosphorus and sulphur, a predominantly bainitic structure is formed after the atomisation process, which has an optimum combination of hardness and toughness and is efficient, resistant and durable in operation.
Due to these properties, namely the material structure and the fact that the surface is largely free of cracks, many users have been able to reduce consumption significantly compared to other metallic abrasives, in some cases by more than 20%.
