316/316L Stainless Steel Ball

Stainless Steel Ball(316/316L) is a type of ball made from stainless steel

316/316L Stainless Steel Ball

316/316L Stainless Steel balls are small spherical objects made of high-quality stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion and oxidation resistance, so it is often used in various fields that require high hygiene and corrosion resistance, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, chemical industry, aerospace, etc.

How to Build 316/316L Stainless Steel Balls

Cold Heading

The cold heading uses equipmentZ32-7.5. The purpose is to be able to punch the steel wire out of the qualified ball blank. After the steel ball is cold heading, the next processing process is carried out.

Screening

Screening, the balls after the hard grinding is initially screened through the screening machine, and the unqualified ball will be eliminated.

Polish Steel Balls

Polishing ball process is to initially polish the ball blank into a circle. It's a very important process.

Soft Grinding

The machine M360 is ued for soft grinding.

Oil Removal

Oil removal equipment, put the ball into the equipment, after screening, separate the ball from the oil.

Hard Grinding

Hard grinding is the method of grinding the ball after heat treatment with grinding wheel in the grinding machine. Its role is to further improve the accuracy and surface quality.

Measuring Instrumentation

After the hard grinding, the steel ball will be measured in accuracy, hardness, etc., and the three-needle measuring instrument will be used to check whether the expected effect is achieved.

Cleaning

After screening, the steel ball is cleaned again and then dried.

Sorting

After cleaning, the steel ball will be qualified into the container through the sorting machine, and finally manually test to complete the whole process of steel ball production.

NOT SURE WHICH 316/316L STAINLESS STEEL BALL RIGHT FOR YOU?

Features of  316/316L Stainless Steel Balls

  316 stainless steel balls are renowned for their excellent corrosion resistance and complete non-magnetic properties, making them suitable for harsh environments such as strong acids, alkalis, and saltwater. They are widely used in the chemical, marine, and medical sectors.

  They have a lower hardness and poorer wear resistance, making them suitable for low-load applications such as valves and roller bottles.

  Their high precision and superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 make them particularly effective in high-end applications.
