In today's demanding industrial environments, components must endure high temperatures, extreme pressures, rapid speeds, and corrosive conditions. For such challenges, tungsten carbide balls—also known as carbide balls—stand out as the unmatched choice thanks to their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and stable performance under harsh conditions.
Tungsten carbide balls boast a hardness of over HRA 90, making them among the hardest ball materials available. Their wear resistance is more than 10 times that of stainless steel balls, which ensures extended service life even in high-friction applications.
They perform reliably in acidic, alkaline, and chemically aggressive environments. Despite their hardness, properly processed tungsten carbide balls retain a degree of toughness, allowing them to resist fractures and impacts better than ceramic balls.
Tungsten carbide maintains structural stability and mechanical properties at both high (up to 500°C) and extremely low temperatures, making it perfect for aerospace, deep-sea, and defense equipment.
Oil & Gas Industry
Used in high-pressure valves and drilling tools where durability, sealing, and wear resistance are critical.
Precision Dies & Punching Systems
Ideal for high-frequency, high-stress stamping operations, significantly reducing tool wear and downtime.
Aerospace & Military Equipment
Tungsten carbide balls serve in core systems such as flight control, fuel regulation, and navigation mechanisms.
Measuring Instruments & High-Precision Devices
With their superior dimensional stability, they are used in micrometers, force gauges, and other metrology tools.
