AISI316
Stainless steel balls
Austenitic steel, is the most high-grade steel balls, HRC ≤ 26, the most suitable anti-corrosion requirements of higher industry and the performance is superior to 304 stainless steel ball.
AISI 316L stainless steel ball compared with softer and more ductile, it is usually used for body jewelry.
