<< Subj:	 Reuse of Stainless Steel Blasting Material

 I am working with a facility that has over 100,000 lbs per year of
 stainless steel shot from blasting operations that has become a fine
 powder.  It is 95% stainless steel by weight.  Currently they are
 stabilizing and landfilling the material.  It seems that this would be
 usable as a foundry feedstock given its purity, or have other beneficial
 reuse.  We have spoken to several foundries and have not identified much
 interest.   Has anyone worked with a similar
 material or have any ideas for beneficial reuse?  We are also aware of
 several alternative blasting techniques.
 
 Thanks!
