General Information: The document provides details on Spheric Trafalgar Stainless Steel AISI 316, highlighting its similarity to AISI 302/304 but with added molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance, especially against sulfuric acid compounds. This steel is suitable for applications involving inks, photographic chemicals, bleaches, dyes, and nitric acids. It is the only austenitic steel used for ball manufacturing and can be non-magnetic.

International Equivalents: The steel has several international equivalents, including AFN 26 CND. 17.11, DIN X5 CR Ni Mo 17122, JIS SUS 316, and Wks 1.4401.

Material Specification: The document provides a composition comparison between 316 and 316L, with maximum percentages for elements such as Carbon (C), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Silicon (Si), Molybdenum (Mo), Manganese (Mn), Phosphorus (P), and Sulfur (S).

Hardness: The hardness is specified with HRc values ranging from 25 to 39 and Brinell Hardness (H.B.) between 140 and 160.

Mechanical Properties: The tensile strength is 180,000 psi, yield strength is 150,000 psi, and density is 0.290 lbs/cu in.

Size Range: The available size range for the steel balls is from 1.588mm (1/16") to 50.80mm (2").

Standard Grades Available: The standard grades available are 50, 100, 200, and 1000.
