Ceramic HIP C-HIP Series

The C-HIP Ceramic Balls are similar to our Si3N4 Ceramic Ball series, but these C-HIP balls are made with by Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). These ceramic balls have an even greater density and hardness than a standard ceramic ball. Ceramic balls are suitable for applications where high loads, high speeds and extreme temperatures are factors. Long life and the need for minimal lubrication make this material appropriate for extreme applications. Ceramic is non-porous, non-magnetic, non corrosive and lighter than steel. In ball form, ceramic balls are also harder than steel and because ceramic balls are non-porous they are virtually frictionless and capable of spinning faster than steel balls.
