Why Choose Tungsten Carbide Balls Over Steel Balls?

In terms of features, tungsten carbide balls have a high hardness of HRA 89-92 (far exceeding the HRC 58-65 of steel balls), which makes them excellent in high wear environments (e.g. bearings, sealed valves, abrasive media). They also last 5-10 times longer than steel balls, which reduces the frequency of replacement and lowers long-term costs. Not only that, in terms of chemical properties, tungsten carbide balls are more resistant to acid and alkali, oxidation, and rust, while steel balls are prone to rust or chemical attack, while tungsten carbide ballsstill maintain high performance in wet, corrosive media.

For example, in the chemical industry, high temperature, high pressure, strong acid and alkali, corrosive media and other common extreme environments, for fluid control, grinding, steel balls (such as stainless steel balls, bearing steel balls) in these harsh conditions are more prone to corrosion, wear and deformation or even failure. Therefore, tungsten carbide balls are preferred. The tungsten carbide balls produced by Jinxin can be used as high-pressure sealing balls to improve abrasion and corrosion resistance, and are suitable for ultra-fine grinding, and can also perform well in valve fluid control, and you can contact us for help in selecting cemented carbide balls in different sizes.
