Tungsten Carbide Balls are widely used in a variety of fields due to their high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high strength. The following are their main applications:
1. Bearings and Valves:
They are used in precision bearings, ball bearings, and valve balls, providing high wear resistance and low friction, suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, or corrosive environments. Examples include precision components in petrochemical and aerospace equipment.
2. Industrial Nozzles and Seals:
They are used in nozzles (such as sandblasting and spraying equipment) for extended service life due to their wear resistance.
They are used as sealing balls in pump and valve seals, ensuring reliability in high-pressure or corrosive fluids.
3. Cutting Tools and Dies:
They are used as cutting tool or die components for machining hard materials, maintaining sharpness and stability due to their high hardness. Examples include metalworking and mining tools.
4. Measuring and Testing Equipment:
Due to their high precision and stability, tungsten carbide balls are commonly used in coordinate measuring machine (CMM) probes, metrology tools, and calibration equipment.
5. Grinding and Pulverizing:
They are used as grinding media in ball mills and are suitable for grinding hard materials such as ores, ceramics, and coatings.
6. Pen Tip Manufacturing:
Tungsten carbide balls are often used in ballpoint pen tips because their wear resistance ensures smooth, long-lasting writing.
7. Other Special Applications:
They are also used in medical equipment (such as surgical tools), defense and military (ammunition), electronics (such as precision contacts), and jewelry manufacturing.
