Everything You Need To Know About Tungsten Ball

Many well-renowned brands manufacture high-quality tungsten balls. It’s a perfect metal that signifies the lifetime warranty and lifespan. This type of metal is becoming popular among a wide range of people. This helps in making tungsten rings that save you big bucks. This is exceedingly famous for its hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and bending resistance. Therefore, it’s ideally suitable for applications where tackling extreme conditions is a must.

Classifications And Applications Of Tungsten Ball

This sintered and finished ball is classified by the surface finish level. With good wear resistance and dimensional stability, tungsten carbide ball has become the most preferable choice for grinding media, hydraulic valves, bearings, gauging, checking diameters, etc.

Main Grades Of Tungsten Ball

WC92% + 8% Co (In request of more wear-resistance, we suggest to use WC-Co grades. )
WC92% + 8% Ni (In most corrosion-wear situations, an optimum choice is the WC-Ni grades, which are resistant down to pH 2 to 3.)
W85%-97%+Ni+Fe Tungsten balls (Density 15.5-18.5g/cm3, mostly are used in the field of shots and counterweight. such as the fish pendant, Oil drilling balance, Ball valves, and bearings, Shotgun bullet, Armor-piercing bullet…）
W99.95%Pure tungsten balls (Density 19.0-19.2g/cm3, mostly are used in Aerospace, aviation, electrical Instrumentation, laboratory…）

Pros And Cons Of Tungsten Balls

Pros:

They can improve the quality of various products by making quality and dimensional tolerances improved thoroughly.
They can reduce replacement and downtimes.
The scrap rate, labor intensity, and human intervention is minimized.
Cost-effective metal for enterprises

Cons:

They have high sensitivity to crack and they are unable to withstand high temperatures, severe conditions, and brittleness. Or else, it can lead to destructive accidents.
The fretting wear and tear issues of carbide ball cannot be eliminated. However, taking proper measures can reduce the issues to a great extent.
