Aluminum Balls

Lighter than steel and stronger than plastic, these balls save weight while standing up to wear and tear. They're widely used as grinding media and in valves and bearings.

2017 Aluminum—An economical choice when you need high strength.

2024 Aluminum—The strongest aluminum balls we offer.

3003 Aluminum—The best choice for high-speed bearings. These balls are hollow, so they're even lighter than solid aluminum balls to spin faster and generate less heat. However, they can't handle as heavy loads. They won't degrade outdoors or from mild chemicals.

6061 Aluminum—The most widely used aluminum balls, balancing strength and corrosion resistance.
