The Ultimate Guide to AISI 1010 Low Carbon Steel Balls by Rama & Sons

AISI 1010 is a popular grade of low carbon steel, widely used for manufacturing steel balls due to its excellent formability, weldability, and cost-effectiveness. Rama & Sons produces high-quality AISI 1010 steel balls for various general-purpose applications across India.

Key Characteristics of AISI 1010 Steel Balls:

• Low Carbon Content: Typically contains around 0.08-0.13% carbon, making it relatively soft and ductile.
• Good Formability: Easily formed into spherical shapes with consistent dimensions.
• Weldability: Can be easily welded if required for specific assemblies.
• Case Hardening: While naturally soft, AISI 1010 steel balls can be case hardened to improve surface hardness and wear resistance while maintaining a ductile core.
• Cost-Effective: Generally more economical compared to high carbon or alloy steel balls.

Common Applications:

• Light-load bearings where high hardness is not critical.
• Furniture casters and drawer slides.
• Toys and recreational equipment.
• Agitators and mixing applications.
• Welded assemblies and components.

For applications not requiring extreme hardness or corrosion resistance, AISI 1010 steel balls from Rama & Sons offer a reliable and economical solution. Contact us for your requirements in Agra and all over India.
