Size / Diameter




   Diameter / OD
 
     The outer diameter (OD) or width of the sphere or ball shape. This is the average particulate diameter for raw materials such as spherical powders or microspheres.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Material Type




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Carbide
 
     Carbides and carbide materials include silicon carbide, tungsten carbide and titanium carbide as well as other compounds of a metal (Ti, W, Cr, Zr) or metalloid (B, Si) and carbon. Carbides have excellent wear resistance and high hot hardness.
 
   Ceramic
 
     Ceramic materials are non-metallic, inorganic compounds that include oxygen, carbon, or nitrogen such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and zirconium oxide ceramics. They have high melting points, wear resistance, and a wide range of electrical properties.
 
   Glass
 
     Glass materials have a random, liquid-like (non-crystalline) molecular structure. They are heated to a temperature sufficient to produce a completely fused melt. When cooled, glass materials retain their amorphous structure. Glasses can be based on several different chemical systems, but silicate glasses are the most widely used. Silicate glasses are made from mixtures of cullet (crushed, recycled glass), sand, soda ash, limestone, and/or other additives.
 
   Metal
 
     Ferrous metals and alloys are based on iron and include carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron, cast steel, maraging steel, and specialty or proprietary iron-based alloys.  Nonferrous metals and alloys are not based on iron and include alloys of aluminum, copper, titanium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, precious metals, and refractory metals.
 
   Plastic
 
     Plastics and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
 
   Sapphire
 
     Sapphire is a high purity, high density, single crystalline form of aluminum oxide, which may contain chromia, titania, yttria or other dopants. Sapphire is usually transparent or translucent.  Sapphire ceramics are used in lasers, substrates, jewel bearings, watch crystals or other specialized optical, wear and electronic applications. Ruby, corundum, and topaz are other names for natural or synthetic sapphire. Ruby is chromium-doped sapphire used in optical filters and laser rods.
 
   Rubber / Elastomeric
 
     Elastomers and rubber materials are characterized by their high degree of flexibility and elasticity (high reversible elongation or resilience). Natural rubber, synthetic rubber or elastomer materials include a variety of systems such as silicone, polyurethane, chloroprene, butyl, polybutadiene, isoprene or neoprene.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, proprietary or specialty material types.

Features




   Common Features       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Corrosion Resistant
 
     Materials are designed or suitable for service applications that require corrosion resistance.
 
   Heat Resistant
 
     Materials are designed or suitable for service applications that require heat resistance.
 
   Hollow
 
     Materials are supplied or available as tubes, pipes or hollow stock with an open internal bore.
 
   Wear Resistant (Bearing / Tool Grade)
 
     Ball or sphere shapes use materials that are designed or suitable for service applications which require wear or erosion resistance. The balls are usually precision-ground for bearing or tooling applications.  Material compositions are chosen or tailored to have high hardness, low sliding friction and high wear resistance. Bearing grade polymeric or plastic products often use high molecular weight polymers (UHMW PE, HDPE) and/or solid lubricant additives.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
