Features / Properties of Aluminum Balls

Aluminum balls are harder, lighter, and more resistant to corrosion than some of their other metal counterparts. Their ductile properties make them ideal for sealing up holes in manufactured parts. Precision aluminum balls are used in industries and applications where there is a need for durability, hardness, and a light weight. Balls manufactured from aluminum typically hold up well under corrosive environments and are ideal for electrical or welding applications due to their high conductivity. While they are not as strong as some other metals, they have a high strength for their weight.

Precision aluminum spheres have a variety of uses but are most commonly used in the electrical sector or in the stud welding process in place of fasteners. They are also popular for use in automated machinery due to their ease of installation and use.
