Steel
media is used primarily for burnishing processes.
It has no peer in terms of imparting extremely high
polished surfaces to most metals in very short process
times. Often, mirror-like finishes on components
can be achieved.
Steel
media also finds wide application in the light deburring
of components and finds specialised use in the finishing
of sintered metal products and the cleaning of tapped
threads.
Other
popular uses include burnishing jewellery, cutlery,
and copper pipe fittings.

| Cones |
Centre
flange and tapered crowns provide contact in angles and
on curved surfaces. Small sizes are excellent for
ornamental designs. |

| Eclipses |
Balls
with slight flattening at the poles. Economical
alternative to spherical balls where precise roundness
is not required. |
�3/32"
- �5/8" |
| Balls |
True
round balls where geometric requirements for finishing
are critical. |

| Ballcones |
Combine
the burnishing abilities of balls and cones into a single
shape. |

edges of diagonally-cut ends provide effective finishing
action in corners while cylindrical body offers wide area
