Brass Balls
Hartford Technologies supplies brass balls for electrical devices, petrochemical operations, and consumer products where electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and low friction are required. Available in sizes from 1.5mm to 25.4mm in ABMA grades 200 through 1000.
Profile
Brass balls are used in electrical devices, petrochemical industry operations, and consumer products such as appliances. Small-diameter balls are often used in valves. Electrical conductivity makes brass balls a good option for electronics applications. Also have low friction properties.
