Product Characteristics
Zinc Cut Wire Shot is produced by cutting zinc wire into pellets, the length equal to the diameter of the wire. Zinc Cut Wire is used mainly for sand removal, deburring and deflashing of non ferrous components. Zinc Cut Wire is also available in a conditioned form which is used as a longer lasting alternative to cast zinc shot.
Applications
Deburring and deflashing of aluminium and zinc castings and die-castings. Removal of sand from sand castings. Removal of parting lines and stains from non ferrous castings. Removal of water wrinkle from aluminium die castings and providing a luster satin type finish. Zinc Cut Wire provides temporary corrosion protection to ferrous parts blasted with it. A very thin layer, up to 1.3μm thick is deposited onto the surface of the part.
