KEEPING PACE WITH EVOLVING MARKET NEEDS

Meeting key standards

The market for cut wire shot is constantly evolving, both in terms of new customer needs and specific requirements for reinforcing shot. 

There are 6 main cut wire standards that we manufacture to: 

Automotive applications:

  • VDFI 8001 issued by the German Spring Association: shot peening media: cut wire shot.
  •  SAE J441 issued by SAE International: cut wire shot for vehicle surfaces. 

Aerospace Applications:

  • 3 for aerospace applications
  • AMS 2431/3 (AWCR) : chopped wire of treated carbon steel - normal hardness
  • AMS 2431/8 (AWCH) : Chopped wire of modified carbon steel - high hardness
  • AMS 2431/4 (AWS) : Stainless steel wire chopped wire with modified hardness
  • All issued by SAE International  

Your industrial challenges, our solutions

However, some customers use their own standard due to the specifics of their production or a gap in the market. The scope of application is not the same for each standard. To ensure best performance and reliability, work with our teams to specify which standard is needed and should be used. 

Whatever your constraints, you will find the exact answer to your industry requirements at WINOA.

What is Cut Wire?

Steel shot from Cut Wire is produced by cutting steel wire into lengths corresponding to the diameter of the wire. For shot peening operations, chopped wire shot is rounded (or dressed) to remove sharp edges that could damage parts subjected to shot peening.

Available in two grades, our highly durable Cut Wire is a specially heat-treated shot peening media that will help you save money with its durability and quality manufacturing, while ensuring the best performance of your shot peening process.


Benefits of using W Abrasives conditioned cut wire

The most important features of our range of conditioned cut wire are based on 4 main points: 

Cost-effectiveness

Due to the unique heat treatment process, the cut wire exhibits high durability and extended service life

+30% compared to conventional abrasive cut wire media, resulting in more cost-effective grinding operations.  

Environmental friendliness 

A lifetime of +30% means reduced waste production for your machine, making the grinding process more environmentally friendly than ever before!
