300
Series Stainless Steel Balls
302 & 304 stainless steel balls are
an austenitic, unhardened stainless steel with
excellent resistance to corrosion by oxidizing
agents, most organic chemicals, food stuffs and
sterilizing solutions. 304 stainless steel has
a lower carbon content than 302 stainless steel.
304 is slightly magnetic.
316 stainless steel balls provide resistance
to sulfurous acid compounds and other highly corrosive
environments. 316 stainless steel is used in the
presence of sulphuric, phosphoric, and acetic
acids. 316 is the least magnetic of the 300 series.
316 L stainless steel balls have the same
properties as 316, except that it has a lower
carbon content. It is easier to machine.
400 Series Stainless
Steel Balls
420 stainless steel balls with good corrosion
resistance, higher hardness & magnetic in
nature, have brighter surface finish and finds
application in special bearings and valves where
corrosion resistance is required along with the
wear resistance.
420 C stainless steel balls due to high
hardness together with the good resistance against
corrosion makes them suitable for valves, special
bearings and so on, in which the protection with
rustproof-greases is poor or absent.
440 C stainless steel balls have greatest
hardness with the highest resistance to corrosion.
These are best for application on valves, bearings
and ball pens.
