Application
Highlighted use-cases so you can quickly match the machine to your job.
It is widely used for rust and mill scale removal, paint and coating removal, surface preparation, descaling, and anchor profile creation. It is commonly used in metal fabrication, foundries, shipbuilding, aerospace, automotive, and heavy engineering industries.
Steel grit abrasive media is widely used to remove rust, mill scale, and surface contaminants from structural steel, plates, pipes, and other metal components. Its angular grains provide effective cutting action for heavy-duty cleaning.
It efficiently removes old paint, coatings, and corrosion layers before repainting or recoating. It helps expose a clean metal surface for subsequent treatment.
Steel grit creates a controlled anchor profile for painting, galvanising, powder coating, and thermal spray applications. The resulting surface texture promotes strong and uniform coating adhesion.
In foundries, steel grit is used for casting and forging cleaning, including the removal of sand, scale, and other residues. It helps prepare components for inspection and further processing.
It is suitable for heavy-duty blasting of ship hull plates, tanks, bridges, storage vessels, and fabricated steel structures. Its durability makes it suitable for large-scale surface preparation.
It can be used for selected aerospace and aircraft component cleaning and surface preparation where the material and blasting specification permit its use. Proper grit grade and blasting parameters help achieve the required surface condition.
It is compatible with wheel blasting machines, hanger blast machines, tumble blast systems, blast rooms, and blasting cabinets. Its reusable nature makes it suitable for continuous industrial blasting operations.
Grit steel is used for descaling wire, springs, forgings, and heat-treated components, removing scale and surface contaminants efficiently. It supports consistent cleaning before further manufacturing or finishing processes.

Product details
Steel Grit is a durable, angular abrasive media designed for abrasive blasting, rust and mill scale removal, paint and coating removal, surface cleaning, and surface preparation. Airo Shot Blast Equipments is the manufacturer and supplier of steel grit in India. The indicative steel grit price ranges from ₹65-₹100 per kg, depending on grade, size, hardness, and order quantity. Contact us for bulk pricing, product availability, technical specifications, and a customized quotation.
Steel grit abrasive is made by crushing hardened, heat-treated steel shot into sharp, angular particles, then screening them into graded sizes. The sharp edges cut and etch the surface, which strips contaminants quickly and produces a rough profile that coatings bond to. It is also called angular steel grit, crushed, and steel blasting grit.
Steel shot is round and mainly peens and cleans. Steel grit blasting abrasive is angular and cuts, so it creates a deeper, sharper profile. Many shot blasting machines use a mix of both to balance cleaning and profile.
Wheel blasting machines throw the grit at high speed, or compressed air carries it through a nozzle. On impact, the edges chip away rust, scale, and paint. The grit is then recovered, cleaned, and reused in a closed-loop system.
| Grade | Size (mm) | Typical use |
| G10 | 2.00 | Heavy paint and scale on thick steel |
| G12 | 1.70 | Heavy rust, scale, and paint removal |
| G14 | 1.40 | Heavy cleaning, forgings, castings |
| G16 | 1.18 | Rust and scale removal on iron and cast steel |
| G18 | 1.00 | Heavy surface cleaning, deep profile |
| G25 | 0.71 | General cleaning, rust and coating removal, fabrication |
| G40 | 0.425 | Rust, scale and coating removal |
| G50 | 0.30 | Surface cleaning, paint removal |
| G80 | 0.18 | Light cleaning, fine profile |
| G120 | About 0.12 | Finishing, very fine profile |
Quick choice: the commonly used range is G25 to G80. A lower G number is a larger particle, which cuts faster and leaves a deeper profile. A higher G number is smaller and gives a finer profile.
| Media | Shape | Hardness | Life | Best for |
| Steel grit | Angular | 40-60 HRC | Long | Cutting, scale removal, anchor profiling |
| Steel shot | Round | 40-50 HRC range | Long | Peening, general cleaning |
| Chilled iron grit | Angular | ≥56 HRC | Shorter (more brittle) | Fast, aggressive cleaning |
| Aluminium oxide | Angular | About 9 Mohs | Long | Non-ferrous and precision blasting, no iron contamination |
Rule of thumb: use steel grit for most steel preparation and profile work. Use chilled iron grit when you want very fast cutting and accept shorter life. Use aluminium oxide when iron contamination is a concern.
The steel grit price in India typically ranges from ₹65–₹100 per kg, depending on grit size, grade, hardness, order quantity, and delivery location. Contact us with your required steel grit media specification and quantity for an accurate price, bulk quotation, and availability.
Abrasive blasting essentially uses steel grit, which includes shot blasting machines and grit blasting machines. Both blasting techniques use different types of materials but are often regarded as part of sand basting machine to provide an overall effect for their purpose.

Grit Steel is used to remove rust, mill scale and old coatings, and to give steel a rough profile for painting, galvanising or thermal spray.
₹65-100 per kg, depending on grade and quantity.
Steel shot is round and cleans and peens. Steel grit is angular and cuts, leaving a deeper profile.
Many times. In well-run closed-loop machines it can last up to about 150-200 cycles, depending on grade and machine.
G25 to G50 suits most rust and scale. Use coarser grades for heavy scale and finer grades for light cleaning.
