Manufacturer of Valve Balls from Titanium to Stainless Steel

United States Ball Corp. manufactures a wide variety of valve balls out of many different materials including stainless steel and titanium. Many of the valve balls that we make are used in high pressure or critical applications sometimes referred to as "zero leak." Many of the end applications that our valve balls are used in are in Navy, Air Force, Aerospace and Medical applications. Our precision industrial valve balls are placed in applications were the valve MUST seal for function.

Two of the most important characteristics of the high pressure steel valve ball are the roundness and the surface finish. The roundness, often referred to as the sphereicity, must be controlled especially in the critical sealing area. The second characteristic is the surface finish. We are able to manufacture valve balls with extremely high roundness and high surface finish tolerances.

We manufacture valve balls from a wide variety of materials depending on the application. Materials such as 316 SS, Nickel K500 (Kmonel), Titanium, Alloy C276 (Hastelloy C276), and Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20), may be used when looking for corrosion resistance. Other materials such as 440C, Cobalt Alloys (Stellite®), and Tungsten Carbide, may be used in applications requiring wear resistance. While still other materials such as Anodized Aluminum, Titanium, and Ceramic may be used for their light weight characteristics.

US Ball can manufacture whatever configuration valve ball that you can design. Valve balls with trunions, valve balls with slots, valve balls with splines, and others. Please call for assistance in your application.
