Detailed Description

Also known as carburized carbon steel balls, low carbon steel balls combine surface hardness with core toughness for general mechanical applications.



Carbon Steel Balls

Case-hardened carbon steel balls are manufactured from low carbon steel and typically processed through carburizing and heat treatment to create a hardened surface layer.

Compared with through-hardened high carbon steel balls, case-hardened carbon steel balls offer better impact resistance and a more economical solution for medium-duty industrial applications.

FAQ
What is the difference between case-hardened and through-hardened steel balls?
Case-hardened steel balls have a hardened outer surface with a tougher inner core, while through-hardened steel balls are hardened throughout the entire cross-section.
Why use low carbon steel balls?
They provide an economical balance of surface hardness, toughness and impact resistance for general industrial applications.
Are case-hardened carbon steel balls corrosion resistant?
No. Carbon steel balls have low corrosion resistance and are usually supplied with oil protection to reduce rust risk during storage and transportation.
What is the advantage of a tough inner core?
The softer core improves impact resistance and helps reduce brittle fracture under shock loading.
Can these balls be used in bearing applications?
They can be used in low-precision or general mechanical bearing applications where cost is more important than high precision or corrosion resistance.
Can you provide custom sizes or specifications?
Yes, custom sizes, heat treatment conditions and packaging are available depending on requirements.
Can you provide samples for testing?
Yes, standard sizes are usually available for testing and evaluation.
Do you provide inspection reports or certificates?
Yes, inspection reports and material certificates are available upon request.
What packaging options do you offer?
Cartons, steel drums, bulk bags and customized packaging are available according to customer requirements.
