Carbon steel balls are high-quality steel balls that are made from carbon steel, a type of steel that contains carbon as the main alloying element. These balls are known for their durability, strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. Carbon steel balls are typically manufactured through a process called forging or rolling, which involves shaping the steel into a spherical shape and then hardening it to enhance its properties. These balls are available in different sizes and grades to meet specific requirements.
Carbon steel balls are available in the following types:
These steel balls typically have high toughness and low hardness, making them easy to machine and form. They are suitable for applications requiring high toughness and easy machinability, such as automotive parts, construction materials, and low-load mechanical components.
High Carbon Steel Balls (through hardened)
Carbon content: 0.6% to 1.0%, sometimes even higher
These steel balls have high hardness, good wear resistance, and high strength, but lower toughness. They are suitable for applications requiring high wear resistance and high strength, such as rolling bearings, tool steels, cutting tools, and the like.
Carbon steel balls features
Carbon steel balls typically have high strength and can withstand significant pressure and weight. This makes carbon steel balls advantageous in applications that require high pressure or heavy loads. The surface of carbon steel balls undergoes heat treatment and surface treatment, enabling them to effectively resist wear and corrosion. This allows carbon steel balls to perform well in applications that require long-term use and durability, such as bearings and transmission devices. Carbon steel balls have good corrosion resistance, especially when compared to other types of steel.
It is important to note that carbon steel balls may not be suitable for applications that require extreme corrosion resistance or non-magnetic properties. In such cases, alternative materials like stainless steel or ceramic balls may be more appropriate.
