In this article, let Baowu show you the types of steel balls.

Steel balls are divided into bearing steel balls, stainless steel balls, carbon steel balls, alloy balls, etc. according to the processing materials. Among them, the bearing steel ball is an important basic component of the industry. The alloy steel ball is a spherical shape produced by forging, spinning, rolling and casting by adding metal elements such as carbon, chromium, manganese, and molybdenum as the main elements. It is the most important part of crushing industrial mining balls and cement balls.

The grade of the bearing steel ball is generally AISI52100, and its hardness is good, the steel contains high chromium chemical composition, and the wear resistance is good. It is suitable for use in mechanical working environments such as bearings.

Stainless steel balls are usually steel balls produced by stainless steel forging process. The materials of stainless steel balls commonly used at this stage are 201, 302, 304, 316, 316L, 420, and 440C. Its diameter varies between 0.5-100mm. It is through the addition of chromium element that a dense layer of chromium oxide is formed on the surface of the steel, which can effectively block the re-contact between the steel and the air, so that the oxygen in the air cannot enter the steel, so as to prevent the steel from rusting. Effect. Mainly used in motorcycle accessories, pulleys, stainless steel bearings, etc.

The series of carbon steel balls are AISI1010, AISI1085. According to the level of carbon in the chemical composition, it can be divided into high carbon steel and low carbon steel balls. According to the conditions of heat treatment or not, carbon steel balls can be divided into hard balls and soft balls. It is a very common steel ball, which can be welded and punched. It has the characteristics of low price, high hardness and a wide range of uses. Usually used for bicycles, bearings, pulleys, handicrafts, shelves, universal balls, luggage, small hardware, and can also be used to grind other media.

The above are some classifications and uses of steel balls. If you want to know more, please pay attention to Baowu at any time.
