What is "Ferrous Contamination?"

Ferrous contamination is when a non ferrous part comes in contact or is blasted with a ferrous object. In blasting this occurs when a non ferrous part is blasted with steel shot or steel grit. Even soft shot will cause ferrous contamination due to its’ high ferrous content. Stainless Steel cut wire and Zinc Cut wire are good alternatives to use when ferrous contamination is of concern.
