Soft carbon steel balls are manufactured without heat treatment and provide good ductility, machinability and cost efficiency for general industrial and hardware applications.
Also known as soft steel balls, soft carbon steel balls are widely used in hardware, welding and general industrial applications requiring good formability and weldability.
Soft carbon steel balls are manufactured from carbon steel materials without heat treatment, maintaining a softer structure with good ductility and impact resistance.
Compared with hardened carbon steel balls, they provide lower hardness but better machinability and lower production cost for general industrial and hardware applications.
