440C Stainless Balls
Artensitic hardened stainless steel balls, they feature remarkable hardness, wear resistance, surface finishing, narrow dimensional tolerances.
For that reason this type of steel is frequently used in precision devices. Balls are provided in the passivated condition.
Applications: |
|---|
Precision bearings, anti-friction bearings, special valves, conveyor belts and rollers, ballpoint pens. They are used in foodstuff, medical instruments, quick couplings, recirculating ball bearings, knotting devices, oil refinery devices. |

Corrosion Resistance
The material resists to corrosion in contact with freshwater, steam, oil, petrol, alcohol. They are subjected to pitting corrosion in sea water environments. Poor corrosion resistance in acid environments.
