ASR and ASH Cast Steel Shot

The only North American manufacturer to conform to stringent requirements of Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS)

Trusted by aerospace, automotive, and similar industries worldwide to deliver consistent peening results.

APPLICATIONS

Shot peening in Aerospace, Automotive, Power, Oil & Gas, Medical and other advanced manufacturing industry sectors.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Ervin AMS grade cast steel shot conforms to AMS 2431 to achieve critical characteristics of durability and transmitted energy. Highlights:
  • Chemistry
(ASTM E 350) – Carbon, manganese, phosphorus and sulphur. Manganese content based on shot size.
  • Microstructure
Tempered martensite with fine, well-distributed carbides
  • Size and Shape
Meets or exceeds AMS 2431 size and shape tolerances.
  • Hardness
ASR (45 to 52 HRC) and ASH (55 to 62 HRC).

CERTIFICATION

Certified to AMS 2431/1 or AMS 2431/2, as applicable, following rigorous testing for compliance.

APPLICABILITY

  • Shot peening performed to process specifications such as AMS 2430, AMS 2432, and related OEM standards requires the use of AMS grade media.
  • Applications following MIL-S-13165C, AMS-S-13165, and similar specifications can also benefit from the use of AMS grade media for optimal shot peening performance.
