The main difference is shape: shot is smooth and round, while grit is sharp and angular, making each suitable for different industrial processes.
| Feature | Steel Shot | Steel Grit |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Spherical | Angular |
| Surface Finish | Smoother, more uniform finish | Rougher surface profile |
| Primary Use | Peening, polishing, gentle cleaning | Aggressive surface preparation, removing rust and coatings |
| Function | Strengthens surfaces by compressing them (shot peening) | Etches and erodes surfaces for better coating adhesion |
| Aggressiveness | Less aggressive | More aggressive |
