Steel Burnishing Balls

Finish your burnishing operations with steel burnishing ball rather that using other burnishing tools for an extremely accurate and precise ID finish.

Burnishing operations are typically performed using burnishing drilling tools. However, more and more burnishing operations are now being performed using steel burnishing balls. The reasons for using steel burnishing balls rather than burnishing drilling tools is that in most cases steel burnishing balls offer your burnishing operations a very true and precise ID and at the same time the use of steel burnishing balls is a far cleaner operation without all of the metal shavings and chips that you get when using burnishing drilling tools. Steel burnishing balls can also avoid imperfections that can't be avoided otherwise. Steel burning balls utilize high pressure to force their way through the material and as they are being pushed through will smooth out any inside diameter that they are being used on. Minor imperfections that would not be detected or noticed using other burnishing tools will be cleared up when using steel burnishing balls. During standard burnishing operations the likelihood of minor imperfections being created is high due to the fact that chips and shavings abound, while a steel burnishing ball does no drilling and leaves your piece completely smooth inside. If imperfections already exist within the area to be burnished, then steel burnishing balls will help to repair the imperfections.

Our steel burnishing balls are available in many different sizes and also available in various shapes so you can always find the steel burnishing balls you need to complete your job.

However, by creating burnishing balls from stainless steel, you will be able to finish a burnishing operation without worry of chemicals reducing the life of your equipment and still be able to accomplish regardless of the use or presence of chemicals or corrosive agents.
