BETA & BETA PRIME

Is a HIGH CHROME containing stainless steel shot, with corrosion resistance similar to CrNi Shot.

Is a COST EFFECTIVE replacement to 304 Stainless Steel Shot, in which it contains <1% Nickel but still has good stainless characteristics.

Is IDEAL for applications where shot blasting costs are required to be kept to a minimum but a stainless steel abrasive is still required.

MAIN APPLICATIONS- The Same as for ALPHA Stainless Steel Shot
