Stainless Steel Balls
Applications and Features:
A wide variety of stainless steels balls are available. Their applications are equally varied.
Austenitic types of stainless steel balls, including 18-8, 316 and the patented Carpenter 20Cb-3 are chosen mainly for their corrosion resistance. Martensitic steels such as 440-C are used in applications which require a combination of corrosion resistance and physical properties of hardness, toughness and dimensional stability.
18-8 and 316 Stainless Steel Balls are used in applications including paper, pulp, photographic chemicals, inks, synthetic fiber, textiles and dyes. 316 has improved corrosion resistance compared to 18-8 and is used in the presence of sulfuric, phosphoric and acetic acid. It resists halogen pitting better than other grades and is often used in high-temperature applications.
