Bearings have become an indispensable precision part of various machines, and steel balls as bearing balls have also become an industry. Steel balls are mainly divided into three categories: stainless steel balls, carbon steel balls and chrome steel balls. The content and composition of each steel ball are different, and the applied working environment is also different. Today, let’s follow Changzhou Feige Steel Ball Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to understand.
1. Stainless steel ball
Stainless steel ball refers to a steel ball made of stainless steel as a raw material. This type of steel ball has a high nickel metal composition and good oxidation resistance. Therefore, stainless steel is suitable for acid and alkaline working environments. Commonly used stainless steel ball models are SUS201/202, SUS304, SUS316/316L and SUS440/440C.
2. Carbon steel ball
Carbon steel balls refer to steel balls made of steel with high carbon content. These steel balls are subdivided into high-carbon steel balls and low-carbon steel balls according to their carbon content. In the manufacturing process of carbon steel balls, hard carbon steel balls and soft carbon steel balls can be manufactured after a heat treatment process. The commonly used carbon steel ball models are AISI1010, AISI1085
3. Chrome steel ball
The chromium steel ball refers to a steel ball containing metal chromium. The chromium steel ball has good hardness, so it is the most wear-resistant of various steel balls, and is suitable for various bearing machinery working environments. The commonly used chrome steel ball model is AISI52100
