Tungsten Carbide Ball
Tungsten Carbide Balls, as the name suggests, are spherical components produced through powder metallurgy. They can be used in bearings, sealing valves, high-energy ball mills, measuring and standard instruments, etc.
In our factory, such spherical components are made from tungsten powder and cobalt powder through metallurgical processes, and produced by pressing and sintering . The balls made in this way feature high hardness, high wear resistance, high compressive strength and good corrosion resistance.
Product Description
1. In sealed valve systems, the interaction between the ball and the valve seat forms the key sealing and moving components. This places very high demands on the dimensional accuracy and material of the ball. As it needs to fit tightly with other components, withstand the harsh environment of high pressure inside the valve, and resist the impact of corrosive media within.
Therefore, tungsten carbide balls have gradually taken the leading position in the market.
2. When used as bearings, their main function is to reduce the friction in rotational or linear motion and bear radial and axial loads. In most people’s minds, bearings themselves are parts that are prone to wear. During long-term use, due to repetitive mechanical friction, they are prone to wear, deformation, and eventual failure. However, the material of tungsten carbide has greatly extended the service life of this part. In industries such as aerospace, oil and gas extraction, and precision instruments, its presence can be seen.
3. For measuring and standard instruments, accuracy and reliability are their soul. In these devices, hard alloy balls are used as calibration balls for probes, hardness testers, and precision gauges, etc. During long-term and repeated use, if there is premature excessive wear and loss of precision, it will be “fatal”. Therefore, the use of hard alloy balls not only extends the service life of the equipment but also reduces measurement errors. For various industries with high precision requirements, it is an indispensable good helper.
