The tolerance requirements for tungsten cemented carbide balls typically vary depending on the application, industry standards, and manufacturing process. The following are some common requirements and explanations for tungsten cemented carbide ball tolerances, based on international or industry standards (such as ISO, DIN, ANSI, etc.) and typical application scenarios:

Tungsten carbide balls' core advantages are their high density (typically between 14.5-15.0 g/cm³, with a typical value of 14.9 g/cm³) and excellent weight characteristics. Their density, approximately twice that of steel balls, directly determines their weight distribution, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Specific characteristics and their impact are as follows:

Tungsten cemented carbide balls (typically made with a metal binder such as tungsten carbide and cobalt) are widely used in high-precision, demanding applications due to their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and stability. Their dimensional accuracy is one of the core criteria for measuring their quality.

Tungsten carbide balls, composed primarily of tungsten carbide and bonded with cobalt as a binder, are widely used in precision bearings, valves, and molds. Their high hardness and wear resistance are their core properties. Hardness reflects a material's ability to resist local deformation, with typical values ranging from 1500–2000 Vickers hardness (HV). The specific hardness is determined by the alloy grade (such as YG series tungsten-cobalt alloys or YT series titanium-cobalt alloys) and the sintering process. The following briefly describes hardness assessment from the perspectives of standards and test methods.
