Ballcones or Satellites
(variously called saturn, sputnik, planet, UFO) are
mixed with round steel ball and other
steel burnishing media (diagonal, pin, eclipse)
to achieve overall cleaning, consistent metal polishing and excellent
mirror finish all over the component profile. Functionality of Ballcones: Steel round ball is the most widely used shape in steel media. However, it is not always versatile, as a sphere cannot access corners. It is also unable to make contact in grooves or recesses if the steel ball diameter is larger than the groove width. In such cases, milky areas become apparent on the component surface where balls are unable to provide polishing action. Steel ballcone and satellite works very well in such areas for providing uniform finishing results. These steel ballcones are also useful for preventing media clogging in the components being polished. |

Tolerance: Stringent dimensional controls are maintained and the
tolerance on the dimensions are +/- 0.25mm or +/- 0.01" (250 microns) which are
amongst the best in this industry. ~ Shape:  One half of the steel ball-cone is a semi-sphere, the other half is a cone and
both are separated by a sloping central flange. The semi-sphere provides rolling action
for good luster, the cone accesses holes and grooves and the flange contributes in
cleaning and finishing corners, collars and recesses. The overall shape prevents media clogging. A
very versatile steel media.~ Steel Material: Stainless steel or inox media, 300 series (typically AISI 304) is the one which is most widely used for metal polishing. It has excellent resistance to rust, corrosion and wear and can be used in conjunction with chemically aggressive burnishing compounds, both acidic and alkaline. Stainless steel requires no maintenance or after care during storage, non usage or idle periods. The burnishing performance remains consistent over long periods of time and it does not require replacement as no deterioration in quality takes place. The 300 series stainless steel are austenitic and are unhardenable by heat treatment. However, some work-hardening takes place during the cold-forging process. The media is passivated after final polish. For details on the properties and composition of stainless steel - AISI 304 / 316 / 302; click here. Carbon, chrome steel media has low corrosion resistance and does not offer the advantages of stainless media. It is useful where cost saving is a major consideration or where trial or limited burnishing runs are required. When not in use, chrome and carbon steel media have to be protected against rust with appropriate chemical compounds to avoid pitting and surface wear and achieve consistent burnishing results. The carbon and chrome steel media are thorough hardened to 58-63 HRc. For details on the properties and composition of chrome steel click here.
