Brass
balls are placed under the category of non-ferrous balls.
They provide excellent resistance to corrosion by water,
and are substantially lower in cost than other corrosion-resisting
balls. Brass balls are frequently used in many types of
valve applications requiring small-size balls. Besides,
they also have the ability to resist the corrosive effects
of fuel oil, gasoline, butane, dry carbon dioxide, benzene,
lime-sulphur mixture and similar chemical agents.
Brass balls are mostly used for non-bearing applications.
Their properties of ductility, good corrosion resistance
in moisture and electricity conductivity find them allied
applications in machines and components. Brass balls are
also used widely in the security and appliance industries
for dip and tilt switches. These are available in a range
of sizes, tolerances and grades of brass. Other alloys
of brass balls available upon request.
