With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. These balls are often used in bearings.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel balls are our easiest steel balls to machine. They are often used for parts that don’t require high strength, such as knobs.

Hollow construction reduces weight and allows these balls to float.

To increase strength and hardness, these K500 nickel balls contain titanium and aluminum. Comparable to Monel, they hold up to harsh chemicals and resist chloride stress corrosion better than stainless steel. They’re often used as bearings and in valves.
