A method for manufacturing a reinforced steel shot relates to a method for manufacturing metal products, particularly to a method for manufacturing the reinforced steel shot used for the metal surface treatment. The method for manufacturing the reinforced steel shot comprises the following process flow: selecting a material, drawing wires, cutting, screening, detecting and storing; or selecting a material, drawing wires, cutting, rounding and reinforcing the surface, screening, detecting, and storing. Since the reinforced steel shot is made of a sectional material, namely a spring steel wire, which is in accordance with requirements of the elementary composition proportion and the hardness deviation range, the density and the consistence of element proportion of the reinforced steel shot are high. Since a novel process is adopted, the reinforced steel shot has the advantages of no occurrence of hollow and surface cracking phenomena, small difference of surface shapes, high surface strength and long service life. The produced reinforced steel shot by using the method is particularly suitable for the high-end workpiece surface treatment.
