Steps in the manufacturing process of precision balls
1. Check the raw materials.
2. Cold heading machine-cut the appropriate length of wire, and then process the cylindrical shape into a roughly spherical shape
3. Flashing-remove any excess material around the ball
4. Heat treatment-quenching and tempering process to reduce internal stress
5. Then the ball is rapidly cooled in the oil reservoir to produce hard martensite
6. Grinding-before and after heat treatment, make the ball closer to its final requirements
7. Grinding-Two phenolic plates with very fine abrasives, such as Pom Ball diamond powder, to further reduce the surface roughness
8.Cleaning-remove any machining fluid and residual abrasives remaining in the manufacturing process
9. Balls used in microelectronics, medical and food applications adopt stricter cleaning technology
10. Visual inspection-Each batch is manually inspected to check for defects and dirt.
11. Roller gauge-The balls are sorted by the roller gauge from largest to smallest. Balls that are too big and too small are eliminated.
12. Quality control-each batch is tested for hardness, diameter, roundness and surface roughness
13. Packaging-The balls are dry packed in plastic bags. If the material is prone to oxidation, include vapor corrosion inhibitor paper.
