Brass Ball

The brass ball is well known for its hardness in comparison to stainless steel or chrome balls. Brass balls have a Rockwell hardness of 75 to 87, which means that they are extremely useful in industrial applications where the product design exerts a great deal of stress on the component. The actual hardness of the brass ball is dependent on the mix of zinc (33.5 to 36.5%) and copper (63 to 68.5%)

Brass balls are commonly found in electrical components because copper is extremely conductive. Our copper balls have turned up in electrical end items such as wireless power devices, data storage equipment, heating units, and kitchen appliances. 

The brass ball also shows resistance to water. Since brass is a very strong material, a brass ball can be used in water valves where there is extremely high pressure. Some of our brass balls are even used in fire hose nozzles. Considering the amount of pressure exerted by the rapid flow of hundreds of gallons per seconds, the brass ball is a good choice for such an assembly. 

Of course, brass balls have been used in the automotive sector almost as long as cars have been on the road. Many auxiliary parts that require movement utilize the brass ball. Some of the top manufacturing companies in the US choose us as a supplier for their brass ball automotive requirements. 

Brass balls are even used in common applications such as household furniture. Furniture with moving parts such as drawers or casters use brass. It may not seem like much pressure, but the forces to which we subject ordinary furniture can be significant. Components, like the brass ball, are important to ensure the integrity and functionality of each item.
