Home > Distribution > Ball Products > High Carbon Steel
More demanding to produce than case hardened Carbon Steel balls, we use a process that heats the steel beyond what's called its transition temperature - the point at which the actual structure is changed.
The steel is then cooled so quickly that it maintains this high temperature state, resulting in a product that's more resilient and longer lasting than the case hardened version.
Through Hardened High Carbon Steel Balls are used in bicycles, roller skates, shopping trolleys and locks - testament to their ability to handle the rough and tumble of day-to-day life.

Accuracy is our trademark at TN UK. We pride ourselves on our ability to measure and calibrate the products we manufacture. Housing some of the most sophisticated equipment in the world, our annually assessed UKAS lab means we guarantee the precision of the products we supply.
On top of that, we maintain regular and open communication directly with you and any relevant departments to ensure that you get exactly what you need when you need it.
We also offer a recalibrate service for your existing gauges, CMM Reference balls and Master Ball Sets. So you can rest assured that, whether we are supplying a new product or recalibrating an existing one, by meeting our strict standards, your company meets its strict standards (particularly important for other calibration assessed companies).
