304 Stainless Steel

AISI type 304 stainless steel balls meet requirements for an unhardened ball with excellent toughness and resistance to corrosion. Corrosion resistance may be increased through annealing. Both non-annealed and annealed balls are widely used in valves and related equipment.

Stainless type 304 balls are capable of resisting corrosion by such agents as oxidizing solutions, most organic chemicals, food stuffs and sterilizing solutions. They are moderately resistant to sulfuric acids. Non-magnetic properties available upon request.

Applications include aerosol, sprayers, finger pump mechanisms, milk machine blenders, food processing equipment and medical applications.
