AMACAST Stainless Steel Shot
Superior Processes Create Superior Products. AMACAST stainless steel shot is produced using Ervin’s RSR Technology (Rapid Solidification Rate).
  • The extremely fast solidification rates (cooling) develop a highly spherical shot shape with more uniformity and without internal voids.
  • This increases durability by 20% over other water or gas atomized techniques.
  • Ervin’s casting process gives the shot a bright finish and the shot is less dusty at the initial start of blasting.
