Stainless Steel Balls

Product Details:

Nextgen Steel & Alloys is a manufacturer of Stainless Steel Balls & also stocks a wide range of stainless steel Balls in 304/304L, 316/316L and 321 plate. These grades are part of the austenitic family of stainless. Austenitic stainless steel is one of the most widely used and versatile type of steel. While 304L stainless steel plates have excellent corrosion resistance, 316/316L plates have higher nickel content than 304 and 304L giving them even better corrosion resistance especially in marine applications. Type 321 ss plates are a good choice for applications where heat is an issue. 321 can be used in applications up to 900 degrees Celsius where 304L is normally used up to 500 degrees Celsius.

Stainless Steel Plate Applications:

• Food Processing and handling
• Heat exchangers
• Chemical process vessels
• Conveyors
• Architectural
• Marine
• Pharmaceutical equipment

Product Details:

Chrome Alloy Steel Balls, the most common bearing alloy, are manufactured from steel of the hardening type AISI E-52100. The balls are heat treated to a hardness of 62 HRC minimum. They are strongly attracted by a magnet.

Hardened Stainless Steel Balls are widely used in bearings and valves, and are manufactured from steel AISI type 440C. Hardness is 58 HRC minimum. They are strongly attracted by a magnet.

Unhardened Stainless Steel Balls are manufactured from steel AISI Type 316 or 302. This material is only slightly magnetic. It may be machined, drilled, and tapped. It has the best corrosion resistance of the standard metals. Hardness is about 30 HRC.

Brass Balls are widely used in tooling and are manufactured from Copper 60-70%, Zinc 30-40%. They are easy to machine, drill, and tap. This material is nearly nonmagnetic. Hardness is 80 HRB.

Soft Mild Steel Balls are manufactured from steel, AISI type 1018. They are strongly attracted by a magnet. Soft mild steel is easy to machine, drill, and tap. The balls are highly polished for decorative applications etc. Hardness 28 HRC.

Aluminum Balls are manufactured from Aluminum Association Specification No. 2017 (SAE No.26). The material is nonmagnetic. It is easy to machine, drill, and tap.

Tungsten Carbide Balls are manufactured from high grade material in the range of Tungsten Carbide 93.5-94.5%, Cobalt 5.5-6.5%. The balls may be ground with diamond wheels and shaped with electro discharge machines. This is one of the hardest, toughest, and most rigid materials available. It is slightly magnetic.
