III. Materials and Craftsmanship
Material Selection
High-quality carbon steel is used as the raw material for the 10mm
solid carbon steel ball. This material offers excellent mechanical
properties, including good toughness, appropriate hardness, and
high cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for a wide range of
applications where moderate strength and durability are required.
Craftsmanship Highlights
- Precision Forming: The manufacturing process starts with precision
forming, using advanced techniques such as cold heading or forging
to shape the initial spherical form. This ensures the basic
structure of the ball is accurate and uniform.
- Grinding and Polishing: After forming, the balls undergo meticulous
grinding to achieve the exact 10mm diameter. Subsequent polishing
treatment further refines the surface, reducing surface roughness
to Ra≤1.6μm, which enhances the ball's performance in rotational or
sliding applications.
- Quality Control: Each 10mm solid carbon steel ball undergoes strict
quality inspection. Dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and
material integrity are checked using professional equipment to
ensure that every product meets the set standards.
