About Cast Iron Grits
Cast Iron Grits / Chilled Iron Grits
All Abrasives Industries offer high quality Cast Iron Grits / Chilled Iron Grits that are manufactured by melting cast iron followed by atomisation and grain crushing. Because of extreme hardness, the grains disintegrate into sharp-edged particles during the blasting process, giving rise to grits. These grits then become perfect with high cleaning and roughening properties.
Our Cast Iron Grits / Chilled Iron Grits are angular in shape and feature a white texture, with a carbon content in excess of 1.7% and up to 3.5%, and hardness above 750 HV/63RC.
Our Cast Iron Grits / Chilled Iron Grits are best suited to meet the requirements of a variety of customers who need tough and fast cleaning media that produce a sharp and angular profile for use in compressed air powered blast rooms and booths. Our iron grits are perfectly sharp, angular, hard and brittle. They are also reusable, which makes them highly cost-effective.
Cast Iron Grits / Chilled Iron Grits are ideal for air blast applications requiring an aggressive cutting rate. They are ideally suited for surface preparation prior to the application of metal spray coatings. All Abrasives Industries Chilled Iron Grits can also be used as high-density aggregates in ballast applications and for radiation shielding.
Superior Abrasive PerformanceOur Cast Iron Grits offer high abrasion capacity, making them ideal for surface preparation, sandblasting, and etching of steel surfaces. Their angular shape ensures effective material removal while maintaining consistency across applications. Uniform grading enables efficient cleaning and provides a matte, textured finish.
Reliable & Consistent QualityProduced via the chilled iron casting and crushing process, Cast Iron Grits deliver predictable quality with minimal impurities. Conforming to IS 4606 standards, their composition includes 9496% iron and 24% carbon, ensuring durability and reliability for industrial tasks. Each batch is carefully graded for uniform particle size.
Environmentally Friendly & ReusableCast Iron Grits are non-hazardous and can be recycled multiple times, reducing environmental impact and overall operating costs. Their low moisture content and ability to maintain quality over an unlimited shelf life when kept dry, ensure long-term usability for manufacturers, suppliers, and wholesalers across India.
FAQs of Cast Iron Grits:
Q: How are Cast Iron Grits produced and why is the production method important?
A: Cast Iron Grits are manufactured using chilled iron casting and subsequent crushing to achieve the desired angular shape and granularity. This process ensures a uniform particle distribution, high hardness, and minimal impurity content, which are essential for consistent abrasive performance in industrial applications.
Q: What applications are suitable for Cast Iron Grits?
A: Cast Iron Grits are used in surface preparation, sandblasting, cleaning, and etching of steel surfaces. Their high abrasion capacity and angular form allow effective removal of rust, paint, and scale, making them ideal for industrial processes such as blasting and peening metal surfaces.
Q: When is it best to use Cast Iron Grits compared to other abrasive materials?
A: Cast Iron Grits should be used when a high abrasion capacity, uniform particle grading, and reliable angular finish are required. Their strength makes them ideal for demanding industrial tasks, especially when reusable, non-hazardous abrasives are preferred over non-recyclable options.
Q: Where should Cast Iron Grits be stored to maintain their quality?
A: Cast Iron Grits should be stored in a dry environment to preserve their unlimited shelf life and prevent moisture uptake, which can impact effectiveness. Durable HDPE or jumbo bags provided by manufacturers and distributors protect the grits during transportation and storage.
Q: What are the benefits of using Cast Iron Grits for surface preparation?
A: Benefits include high abrasion efficiency, consistent performance due to uniform particle size, a non-hazardous and reusable nature, and a matte, angular finish on steel surfaces. Their robust hardness and minimal impurities ensure reliable results with reduced operational costs.
Q: How many times can Cast Iron Grits be reused during industrial processes?
A: Depending on application and operational conditions, Cast Iron Grits can be recycled and reused for multiple blasting cycles, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly abrasive solution for various industries.
Q: Are Cast Iron Grits available in custom sizes and what packaging options are provided?
A: Yes, Cast Iron Grits are available in both standard grades (G12-G80) and custom sizes to meet specific requirements. They are typically supplied in 25 kg HDPE bags or bulk jumbo bags by manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors across India.
