Carbon steel balls are manufactured from a specialized combination of steel and carbon. Through professional hardening processes, they achieve excellent surface quality, high hardness, and superior load-bearing capacity. These are categorized into Low, Medium, and High carbon steel variations based on material density.
Industrial Applications: In paint spray cans (typically 3/8" or 10mm G-1000), these balls effectively stir and mix paint. In personal care products like nail polish, they act as agitator balls to homogenize fluid and ensure free-flowing application.

Application Areas: Highly versatile and cost-effective. Common uses include bicycles, pulleys, sliding rails, handicrafts, luggage, and universal ball units. Also used as grinding media.
Key Characteristics: Magnetic ferrite structure. Usually oily packaging to prevent corrosion. Can be electroplated (Zinc, Gold, Nickel, Chrome) to enhance wear resistance (HRC50-55).
Performance Comparison: While carbon steel balls offer high hardness, their wear resistance is slightly lower than bearing steel balls (GCR15, HRC60-66), making them suitable for specific load requirements.
