Non-Ferrous vs. Non-Metallic Balls: Which to Choose? Feat. Rama & Sons

Choosing between non-ferrous and non-metallic balls depends heavily on the application's demands. Rama & Sons provides expert guidance and a diverse product range.

Non-Ferrous Metal Balls (e.g., Brass, Copper, Aluminium, Titanium):

  • Properties: Generally offer good electrical/thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance (varies by alloy), and are non-magnetic (most types).
  • Applications: Electrical components, valves, heat exchangers, lightweight applications (Aluminium), high-strength/low-weight (Titanium).

Non-Metallic Balls (e.g., Plastic, Ceramic, Glass, Ruby):

  • Properties: Lightweight (plastics), high hardness/wear resistance (ceramics, ruby), electrical insulation, excellent corrosion/chemical resistance.
  • Applications: Low-load bearings, check valves, flow indicators (plastics, glass); high-performance bearings, valves, medical (ceramics, ruby). Our Ceramic balls are excellent for harsh environments.

Consider factors like load, temperature, chemical exposure, and electrical properties. Rama & Sons can help you select from our ranges of Non-Ferrous Balls and Non-Metallic Balls.
