What Is Stainless Steel Shot?
Stainless steel shot and grit are blasting media made from steel with a high chromium and nickel content
used on substrates where carbon steel media cannot be applied.
Chromium forms a protective layer that resists corrosion,
while nickel adds the toughness that keeps particles from breaking down under repeated impact.
There are two forms — shot, spherical, for cleaning and polishing, and grit, angular, for creating a surface profile before coating.
Whenever carbon steel shot or grit is ruled out by the risk of iron contamination or corrosion, stainless steel media is the required choice.

Select the Right Media by Application
| Application | Recommended Grade | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum & Die Casting | STELUX CN, C | Iron-free finish, prevents white rust, ready for painting and anodizing |
| Stainless steel castings & forgings | STELUX C · CN / CG | Casting scale removed with a uniform finish, anchor profile where coating requires one |
| Zinc, copper & magnesium alloys | STELUX C or CN | Soft non-ferrous substrates cleaned with no embedded iron particles |
| Hot-dip galvanized components | STELUX CG | Paint-ready surface condition while limiting damage to the zinc layer |
| Surface profiling before coating | STELUX CG | Angular particles cut a uniform anchor pattern, improving coating adhesion |
* The recommended grade depends on the substrate and the required finish. Start with shot (STELUX C · CN) when the goal is cleaning and polishing, and with grit (CG) when the goal is a surface profile before coating.

Abrasive Media Comparison
| Criterion | Stainless Steel (STELUX) | Carbon Steel Shot | Glass Beads | Aluminum Oxide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Contamination | None | High | None | None |
| Hardness & durability | High (many reuse cycles) | High | Low (breaks down quickly) | High hardness, fast conumption |
| Surface finish | Uniform sheen, or defined profile with grit | Coarser finish | Smooth, bright/td> | Excellent for angular profiling |
| Dust generation | Low | Midium | High | High |
| Cost per kg | High | Low | Low | Medium |
| Cost per part | Low (long life, no post-treatment) | Rises when chemical cleaning is added | High (few reuse cycles) | High (few reuse cycles) |
* Looking at media price alone, mineral abrasives can appear cheaper. Measured per finished part, stainless steel media is often the more economical choice: mineral media such as aluminum oxide is consumed quickly and can be reused only a limited number of times, while stainless steel media recirculates from tens to hundreds of cycles, lowering total process cost. Each media type has its place — the right choice depends on the substrate and the required finish.
Total Cost of Ownership: Compare Total Cost, Not Price
Purchase price is only part of the total. A shot blasting process has to be judged on media consumption per part, equipment wear, reject and rework rates, dust extraction load and downstream chemical treatment costs as well as the media itself.
Through the W-Care service, Winoa assesses each element of your process, recommends the right abrasive and helps bring total production cost down.
