About MS Grits
MS Grits are crushed steel shots provided with sharp edges for cleaning the surfaces swiftly. They are widely utilized in pipe building, steel construction, ship building, granite cutting, and other applications. In addition to this, they are also used in abrasive blasting operations. These MS Grits are available with uniform martensitic microstructure.
Enhanced Surface PreparationMS Grits deliver a rough, angular surface profile ideal for surface preparation tasks. Their hardness and density ensure effective mill scale, rust, and paint removal, resulting in a clean, prepped surface. This aids adhesion for coatings and extends the lifespan of subsequent treatments, making them indispensable for industrial abrasive blasting.
Versatility Across ApplicationsThese grits are suitable for a wide range of applications, including shot peening, surface cleaning, and industrial abrasive cleaning of steel structures. With multiple grades and customizable sizes, MS Grits can be tailored to meet the specific requirements for thickness, mesh size, and surface profile in diverse industries.
FAQs of MS Grits:
Q: How are MS Grits used in industrial abrasive blasting?
A: MS Grits are employed in abrasive blasting to clean and prepare steel surfaces by forcibly propelling the angular grits onto the material. This process effectively removes rust, old paint, and mill scale, resulting in a clean surface ready for painting or coating.
Q: What are the main benefits of using angular MS Grits for surface preparation?
A: The angular shape and high hardness of MS Grits ensure thorough cleaning and surface roughening, which enhances coating adhesion. Their consistent density provides uniform results, reducing rework and improving efficiency in industrial applications.
Q: When should MS Grits be chosen over other abrasive materials?
A: MS Grits are best chosen when a rough, clean surface is required, particularly for heavy-duty cleaning, shot peening, or preparation before applying coatings. Their suitability for aggressive removal of rust and mill scale makes them preferable in steel fabrication and construction projects.
Q: Where are MS Grits commonly sourced and supplied in India?
A: MS Grits are available nationwide through a network of dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers. They are widely distributed to industries involved in surface preparation and abrasive blasting applications.
Q: What is the process for selecting the grade and size of MS Grits needed?
A: The selection depends on the application. Thicker materials and heavy rust require coarser grits, while finer tasks use smaller mesh sizes. Grades range from 12/16 to 40/50 mesh, and dimensions can be customized according to the specific cleaning or peening requirements.
Q: What safety precautions should be followed during the usage of MS Grits?
A: Operators must use protective gear, such as goggles, gloves, and respiratory protection, during abrasive blasting. Adequate ventilation and dust extraction systems are recommended to maintain a safe work environment.
