About zinc cut wire shots
We manufacture complete range of Zn Cut Wire Shots in size ranging from 0.4mm to 1.6mm size in both As cut and Conditioned form. We have ready stocks of various sizes available with us.
Product Description:
We offer a qualitative range of Zinc Cut Wire Shots. Available at competent rates, our products reduce wear and tear on blast equipment. These Zinc cut wire shots are softer than stainless steel cut wire or cast products. Zinc cut wire shot is available in different sizes.
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.
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 1.3m thick is deposited onto the surface of the part.

Versatile Cleaning and Finishing ApplicationsZinc cut wire shots are extensively used for surface cleaning and finishing activities across numerous industries. Their low dust generation and controlled hardness make them particularly effective for deburring, shot peening, and restoring aluminum die and brass components. These attributes ensure efficient cleaning without damaging the substrate material.
Strict Quality Assurance and CustomizationManufactured using high purity zinc and conforming to global standards like ASTM and BIS, these cut wire shots offer reliable consistency in performance. Each batch undergoes stringent quality checks under the ISO 9001:2015 system. Dimensions and packaging can be tailored to meet specific client requirements, while technical drawings are available on request.
FAQs of zinc cut wire shots:
Q: How are zinc cut wire shots typically used in industrial processes?
A: Zinc cut wire shots are primarily used for surface cleaning, shot peening, deburring, and residue removal in industries dealing with aluminum and brass components. They are propelled onto the substrate to efficiently remove surface contaminants or impart a desired texture without causing substrate damage due to their uniform hardness and controlled impact.
Q: What benefits do zinc cut wire shots offer compared to other abrasive media?
A: Zinc cut wire shots provide low dust generation, minimal residue, and uniform hardness, making them safer for both operators and machinery. Their purity and precise dimensions ensure consistency in finishing jobs while reducing maintenance requirements for equipment due to lower material embedment and dust.
Q: When should I opt for zinc cut wire shots over steel or aluminum alternatives?
A: Zinc cut wire shots are particularly advantageous for cleaning sensitive components like aluminum die-cast parts and brass items, where avoiding substrate erosion or warping is critical. Their moderate hardness and gentle cleaning action make them suitable when precision and surface integrity are essential.
Q: Where are these zinc cut wire shots manufactured and supplied from?
A: These zinc cut wire shots are manufactured, supplied, exported, and traded from India, adhering to ASTM and BIS standards as per customer requirements. They are available for both domestic and international clients, with packaging and shipping customized to order size.
Q: What is the typical process for ordering and receiving customized zinc cut wire shots?
A: Clients can specify their required dimensions, quantities, and preferred packing (25 kg bag or drum) when placing an order. Manufacturers provide technical drawings if needed and conduct quality assurance as per ISO 9001:2015 before shipping. Delivery schedules depend on the volume and custom requirements.
Q: How long can zinc cut wire shots be stored, and what are the storage recommendations?
A: Zinc cut wire shots have a shelf life of 12 months when stored in a dry, cool environment away from moisture and corrosive substances. Properly sealed packaging, such as woven bags or drums, helps maintain their quality throughout the storage period.
Q: What quality standards and tolerances are maintained for zinc cut wire shot production?
A: Production is strictly monitored to ensure compliance with ASTM/BIS standards and ISO 9001:2015 certification. The cut wire shots have a dimensional tolerance of 0.05 mm, uniform hardness (40-120 HV), and are manufactured from high purity zinc (>99%) to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
