NXF UNS 316/0Cr17Ni12Mo2/1.4401 Outer Diameter 2-2000mm Thickness 0.5-8mm Surface Polishing 316 Stainless Steel Hollow Ball

316 Stainless Steel Introduction：Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. It is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of parts for applications in the industrial, architectural, and transportation fields. Grade 316 also has outstanding welding characteristics. Post-weld annealing is not required when welding thin sections.Grade 316L, the low carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). Grade 316H, with its higher carbon content has application at elevated temperatures, as does stabilised grade 316Ti.The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.316 Stainless Steel Applications：Food preparation equipment particularly in chloride environments.Laboratory benches & equipment.Coastal architectural panelling, railings & trim.Boat fittings.Chemical containers, including for transport.Heat Exchangers.Woven or welded screens for mining, quarrying & water filtration.Threaded fasteners.Springs.

316 Stainless Steel Hollow Ball Introduction：316 stainless steel balls are high-performance austenitic spherical components renowned for their exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical durability, and dimensional stability under demanding conditions, with a chemical composition featuring 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum that enhances resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and harsh environments including marine settings and chemical exposures. These non-magnetic balls maintain structural integrity and stable performance across extreme temperatures, boasting a tensile strength range of 460-860 MPa, Brinell hardness of 160-190, and excellent weldability due to a maximum carbon content of 0.08%, while their polished surface finish and precise dimensional tolerance ensure reliability in precision applications. Widely utilized across industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, petroleum, food and beverage, medical devices, and marine engineering, they serve as critical components in bearings, pumps, valves, sprayers, quick-disconnect couplings, and precision mechanical assemblies, delivering extended service life and consistent performance in both industrial machinery and high-end equipment where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are paramount.
