AISI 316 / 316L Stainless Steel Balls
Austenitic stainless steel balls with higher corrosion resistance than the 304L series. As a standard practice at the Tolia group all stainless steel balls are supplied in a passivated condition. The high corrosion resistance makes this the perfect ball for the pharma and cosmetic industry.
Applications :
- Aerosol pumps (medical/pharmaceutical industries)
- Grinding media
- Food Industry
- Bearings
- Agricultural Industry
- Automotive Industry
