API 11AX Tungsten Carbide Ball and Seat Blanks

Tungsten carbide ball & seat, made from virgin raw materials, have high hardness, wear-resistance, corrosion resistance, and resistance to bending. We are able to supply Carbide Balls in various desired material specifications including TC Cobalt, TC Nickel and TC Titanium, and the TC Balls are manufactured as per ISO and Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturer Association (AFMBA) standards.

Blank balls and finished balls can be both supplied. Standard and non-standard balls are available.
