Taian City Zhencheng Steel Balls

420/420C stainless steel ball


As a representative of martensitic stainless steels, 420 stainless steel balls exhibit high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and moderate toughness. After heat treatment (quenching and tempering), they also achieve superior corrosion resistance and polishability. With favorable machinability, they are well suited for manufacturing components that endure heavy loads and require outstanding wear resistance.
