Stainless Steel AISI 316
General Information
Similar to AISI 302/304 but, with the addition of molybdenum improves corrosion resistance particularly to sulphuric acid compounds. These balls are used extensively in applications where contact is made with inks, photographic chemicals, bleaches, dyes and nitric acids. This is the only austenitic steel for ball manufacture and can be non magnetic.
