Carbon Steel Cut Wire is a popular alternative to cast steel abrasives, and finds specific niche markets where cast materials do not offer adequate performance, This is particularly true for peening applications where a higher level of abrasive hardness is desirable or when components to be peened have a high level of inherent hardness.


The ideal peening media should contain particles of identical size, shape, hardness and density in order to produce repeatable peening results. Carbon steel cut wire is manufactured from wire strand, cut to lengths equal to its diameter. This results in particles virtually identical in size, shape, hardness and density and thus a media ideally suited for peening purposes. It will work harden the more it is used during the operation and lead to an extremely long abrasive life span.
