Low carbon steel abrasive
Low carbon steel abrasive is exceptionally long-lasting and extremely durable because it is virtually crack-free. Due to the microstructure and material properties achieved directly after granulation, the granules do not need to be subjected to subsequent heat treatment. On the other hand, most high carbon steel abrasives develop surface cracks during the atomisation process, which is caused by the high carbon content and the resulting high level of hardness. During the heat treatment required for this reason, the existing cracks can become even larger.

low carbon steel abrasive
with a bainitic structure.
| Chemical analysis: | C Si Mn P S |
approx. 0.10 % approx. 0.15 % approx. 1.15 % approx. 0.015 % approx. 0.015 % |
| Hardness: HV1 (ISO 11125–3 ISO 6507) |
in new grain: 390 — 430 in operation: 440 — 480 |
|
| Micro- structure: |
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.
|
|
| Durability: |
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%.

| Delivery form: |
Packed in PE bags of 20 kg each. The shipment is made on Euro pallets in units of 1000 kg (50 bags @ 20 kg). The pallet is protected with a cardboard box and shrink-wrap foil. Or in1000 kg BigBag on Euro pallet protected by shrink-wrap. Or in barrels (2 pces. @ 800 kg ea.) on 1 Euro pallet and protected by shrink-wrap. |
