Application Fields:
The 304 stainless steel ball is a widely used ball on the market, suitable for applications in chemicals, aviation, aerospace, plastic hardware: sprayers, valves, motors, switches, irons, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, automotive parts, bearings, instruments, and baby bottles.
Features:
Typical representative of Austenitic steel, generally non-magnetic, but becomes magnetic after passing through a light ball mill, can be demagnetized, HRC ≤ 26. Features good rust and corrosion resistance.
Comparison:
304HC stainless steel balls are softer and more easily machinable than 304 stainless steel balls, while 304L stainless steel balls offer superior rust and corrosion resistance compared to both. They are also easy to weld and have excellent polishing properties, making them more suitable for industries with high surface quality requirements.
