Product Description

Carbon steel balls are manufactured from a combination of steel and carbon. They exhibit excellent surface quality, high hardness, and high load-bearing capacity due to thorough hardening processes. Depending on carbon content, these are categorized into Low carbon steel balls, Medium carbon steel balls, and High carbon steel balls.

💡 Common Industrial Uses

Paint Spray Cans: Specifically sized 3/8" or 10 mm (G-1000) balls are used as agitators to thoroughly mix the paint.

Personal Care: In products like nail polish, steel balls act as agitators to homogenize the fluid and prevent coagulation.

Application & Performance

🛠️ Application Areas

Carbon steel balls are highly cost-effective and versatile. They are widely used in:
• Bicycles, bearings, and pulleys.
• Sliding rails and drawer slides.
• Universal balls, luggage wheels, and small hardware.
• Grinding media for industrial processes.

⚙️ Characteristics

Magnetic ferrite structure, usually oiled for packaging. Can be electroplated with zinc, gold, nickel, or chrome for enhanced corrosion resistance. Wear resistance reaches HRC50-55.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I obtain samples?

Please provide details for the sample fee and express delivery costs. We will produce and ship samples promptly upon confirmation.

What is the standard sampling time?

Sample preparation and dispatch typically take between 3 to 7 days.

Is private labeling or OEM branding available?

Yes, if you meet our minimum order quantity (MOQ), we can print your logo on the products and the packaging.

Can products be manufactured in custom colors?

Yes, product colors can be customized provided the minimum order quantity requirements are met.

How is product quality ensured?

We implement strict inspections during production and perform rigorous sampling checks before shipment to ensure packaging and product integrity.

How do carbon steel balls compare to bearing steel balls?

Carbon steel balls are more affordable but have lower hardness (HRC 50-60) compared to GCR15 bearing steel balls (HRC 60-66), resulting in a shorter service life in high-stress applications.
