STEEL BALLS

Product Description

AISI type ***-C stainless steel balls afford the advantage of maximum hardness combined with corrosion-resisting properties. This hardness, together with precise geometry and fine surface finish, makes them especially useful for bearing and valve applications where severe environmental conditions may occur. Consumable electrode vacuum meleted (CEVM) and vacuum induction melted/vacuum arc remelted (VIM-MAR) materials are available upon request. AISI type **6 stainless steel balls meet requirements for an unhardened ball with excellent toughness and resistance to corrosion. Corrosion resistance may be increased through annealing. Both non-annealed and annealed balls are widely used in valves and related equipment. AISI type **6 is an austenitic, chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel and heat resisting steel with corrosion resistance superior to most other chromium-nickel stainless steels in many types of chemical corrodents, as well as, marine atmospheres. Applications include phosphate industry parts, textile finishing equipment, printing equipment, body jewelry and valve industries AISI type **2 stainless steel balls meet requirements for an unhardened ball with excellent toughness and resistance to corrosion. Corrosion resistance may be increased through annealing. Both non-annealed and annealed balls are widely used in valves and related equipment. Stainless steel type **2 balls are capable of resisting corrosion by such agents as oxidizing solutions, most organic chemicals, food stuffs and sterilizing solutions. They are moderately resistant to sulfuric acids. Nonmagnetic properties are available upon request. Applications include aerosol, sprayers, finger pumps mechanisms, milk machine blenders, food processing equipment and medical applications. AISI type **0 stainless steel balls meet requirements for an unhardened ball with excelent toughness and annealed balls are widely used in valves and related equipment.
