High-chromium shot blasting machine components (core assemblies featuring high-chromium materials, such as high-chromium wear-resistant steel shot, high-chromium impellers, high-chromium protective plates, and high-chromium directional sleeves) constitute the critical elements enabling efficient rust removal, surface strengthening, and cleaning in shot blasting operations. Their advantages primarily revolve around four core dimensions: ‘wear resistance, stability, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability’. Specifically, these can be broken down into the following aspects:

1. Core Advantage: Exceptional Wear Resistance, Significantly Extended Service Life

The competitive edge of high-chromium components stems from their material properties. By incorporating 12%-30% chromium content and employing heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering, they develop a high-hardness martensitic structure combined with chromium carbide (Cr₇C₃). This structure achieves a hardness of HRC 58-65 (compared to HRC 20-30 for standard low-carbon steel components), offering 3-8 times greater wear resistance than conventional carbon steel parts.

2. Stability Advantage: Reduced Failures, Ensured Shot Blasting Efficiency

The cleaning efficacy (e.g., rust removal grade, surface roughness) and production efficiency of shot blasting machines depend on the stable operation of components. High-chromium components, with their uniform material composition and high structural strength, effectively prevent ‘performance degradation due to component wear’. They offer advantages such as stable projection accuracy and low failure risk.

Economic Advantages: Lower Long-Term Costs, Higher Cost-Effectiveness, Reduced Consumables, Minimised Downtime Losses
4. Adaptability Advantages:Compatible with Multiple Scenarios, Meeting Demanding Cleaning Requirements
The material properties of high-chromium components enable adaptation to various shot blasting machine types (track-type, hook-type, through-type) and diverse cleaning requirements, proving indispensable particularly for ‘high-hardness workpieces’ and ‘high-standard cleaning’ scenarios.
5. Additional Advantages: Reduced maintenance and environmental pressure
Reduced maintenance workload: Extended service life of high-chromium components eliminates frequent disassembly for replacement, easing maintenance personnel’s workload.
5.Dust pollution reduction: High chromium steel shot exhibits low fragmentation rates (typically <5%), minimising metal dust generated by shot breakage. This lowers workshop dust concentrations and enhances compliance with environmental regulations (e.g., GB 16297-1996 ‘Comprehensive Emission Standard for Air Pollutants’).
