1.0mm Tc Ball (Tungsten Carbide)

1.0mm Tungsten Carbide/ TC Ball

MaterialTungsten Carbide
Size: 1.0mm
Grade: G5-G100

General Information
Tungsten Carbide materials have a unique combination of properties, high compressive strength, hardness and resistance to wear, as well as an ability to withstand shock and impact. Typical applications are valves, flowmeters, ball screws and linear bearings. Balls from this material are also used for ballizing, gauging and ball pens.


Uses:
Tungsten carbide balls are used where extreme hardness and wear resistance is required; In such applications as bearings, ball screws, valves, flowmeters. TC balls are also used for coining and pivots, detents and tips for gages and tracers. Decimal-inch size tungsten carbide balls are widely used for ballizing or hole sizing. TC balls are also used for gauging and checking.

Corrosion Resistance:
Tungsten carbide itself is practically inert; Any attack is usually on the binder. Since other materials are less expensive, the selection of tungsten carbide for corrosion resistance is usually not justified. In severely corrosive conditions, carbides with more resistant binders can be supplied for specific applications.

Standard Fractional Tungsten Carbide Balls:
Tungsten Carbide balls are used where extreme hardness and wear resistance is required in such applications as ballizing, bearings, ball screws, valves and flowmeters. Tungsten carbide balls may also be brazed onto a stem or shank to be used for valves, gauges, our other applications.
