50 – 1/8" (0.125") Grade 5 Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) Ceramic Balls
Ultra-Hard | Precision-Made | Low Friction Performance
Engineered for peak performance and durability, this 50-piece set of Grade 5 Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) ceramic balls offers a superior solution for high-load, high-speed, and extreme-condition applications. With a diameter of 1/8" (3.175 mm), each ball is manufactured to G5 aerospace-grade precision, delivering unmatched roundness, smoothness, and structural integrity.
Made from Si₃N₄ — an advanced ceramic material — these balls are 60% lighter than steel, twice as hard, and thermally stable up to 1000°C, offering exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and deformation.
