A steel ball is a spherical object made of steel, widely used across various industrial applications due to its durability and versatility.
In the manufacturing of bearings, steel balls play a crucial role. They work alongside lubricants to diminish friction within the bearing components, facilitating smooth and efficient rotational movement.
Steel balls are also integral in inspection and gaging processes. Due to their precise and uniform dimensions, they are used to measure and verify the size and surface quality of other products.
In addition to these applications, larger steel balls are employed in mixing and stirring operations. When rotated in containers, they assist in achieving a uniform mix of liquids or powders, making them essential in various industrial mixing processes.
