Precision Ball Diameter
Ti 6Al-4V (Grade 5)
High Strength, Lightweight, and Versatile
Ti 6Al-4V is the most commonly used titanium alloy, offering a unique combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and weight reduction. It provides excellent mechanical properties and fatigue strength.Ti 6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23)
Extra Low Interstitials for Enhanced Biocompatibility
Ti 6Al-4V ELI is a medical-grade version of Grade 5 with lower levels of interstitial elements, improving toughness, ductility, and fatigue resistance.Titanium C.P. (Grade 2)
Commercially Pure, Corrosion-Resistant, and Weldable
Titanium Grade 2 offers excellent corrosion resistance with good strength and formability. It is the most widely used commercially pure titanium.Manufacturing & Supply
We are capable of manufacturing and supplying loose titanium balls in nearly every variation of grade, maintaining an extensive stock with sizes ranging from 0.2mm to 150mm in diameter.

Applications of Titanium Precision Balls
Titanium precision balls are used in a range of demanding sectors where weight, corrosion resistance, and material purity are critical:
- Aerospace – Lightweight components for flight and spacecraft systems
- Medical – Implants, surgical tools, and biocompatible components
- Chemical Processing – Aggressive media, acid environments, and pump systems
- Marine – Corrosion-resistant systems exposed to saltwater
- Energy – Valves and fittings in offshore and power generation environments
- Automotive – High-performance, lightweight engine and chassis parts
Useful terms and definitions
Batch or Lot:
A defined quantity of balls manufactured under conditions presumed to be uniform and which is considered an entity.
Nominal Ball Diameter:
The diameter value that is used for the general identification of a ball size.
Single Ball Diameter:
The distance between two parallel planes tangential to the actual ball surface.
Diameter Tolerance per Batch:
The allowed difference between the smallest measured ball diameter and the largest ball diameter within the same batch or lot quantity.
Sphericity:
A measure of roundness expressed as the difference between the measured roundness of a ball and a theoretically perfectly round ball.
Surface Finish or Roughness:
A measure of the texture of a surface. It is quantified by the vertical deviations of the actual surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small, the surface is smooth.
