S-2 Rockbit Balls
|
S-2 Tool Steel balls are designed to achieve extreme
ruggedness. The ball surface has a smooth ground and polished
finish. These balls provide the toughness and strength necessary
for severe shock loads. S-2 Tool Steel balls are hardened
throughout and have unusually good wear characteristics.
S-2 Tool Steel balls find most frequent use in oil field
equipment and offshore drilling operations. They provide
good service in withstanding the abrasion of pulverized rock and
mud slurries.
