Product Description

Tungsten carbide balls, commonly known as tungsten steel balls, are spherical, engineered products made by sintering micron-sized powders of metal carbides such as tungsten carbide (WC) and titanium carbide (TiC) as the main components, with the addition of binders like cobalt, nickel, or molybdenum, using powder metallurgy processes in vacuum furnaces or hydrogen-reduction furnaces.

 

Tungsten carbide ball production process

It primarily includes steps such as powder manufacturing, formulation of the recipe according to application requirements, wet milling, mixing, grinding, drying, sieving, addition of a forming agent, redrying, sieving to obtain the mixed material, granulation, cold isostatic pressing, shaping, sintering, shaping (final product), packaging, and storage.

 

Characteristics of tungsten carbide balls

- high hardness: Hardness ≥90.5 HRA, significantly higher than that of standard steel balls. 
- High wear resistance: Wear resistance can be tens to hundreds of times greater than that of traditional steel balls, and it can maintain its shape and dimensional stability during long-term use. 
- excellent corrosion resistance: It has strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and other chemical substances and can operate reliably in corrosive environments. 
- Strong resistance to bending It has high strength and toughness, is not prone to bending deformation, and can withstand considerable external forces.

 

Tungsten carbide ball classification

According to the processing technology, there are rough grinding balls, coarse grinding balls, fine grinding balls, and so on. 
By application: includes bearing balls, valve balls, non-magnetic balls, Monel balls, through-hole balls, measuring balls, color-scratching balls, and pen balls, among others.

 

Common degrees

Common grades include the YG, YN, YT, and YW series. Among these, cemented carbide balls of grade G6 contain 94% WC and 6% Co, with a hardness of 91 HRA and a density of 14.6–15.0 g/cm³. Cemented carbide balls of grade G8 contain 92% WC and 8% Co, featuring a hardness of 89 HRA and a density of 14.4–14.8 g/cm³.

 

Application field of tungsten carbide balls

In the field of mechanical manufacturing:

  It is used in the manufacturing of key components such as precision rods and ball screws, enhancing the accuracy and lifespan of equipment. 
In the petrochemical field:

It is applied in oilfield equipment, valves, pumps, and other devices, and can withstand corrosion and wear from media such as oil, gas, and water. 
In the field of instrumentation:  

such as sensors, transmission components, etc., in measuring instruments, ensuring the precision and stability of the devices. 
- aerospace sector:  

It is used in the manufacturing of components for aviation engines and aircraft, meeting their requirements for use under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and high speed.
