Chromium steel balls, characterized by high hardness, deformation resistance, and corrosion resistance, are primarily used to manufacture bearing rings and rolling elements, such as those used in transmission bearings for internal combustion engines, electric locomotives, automobiles, tractors, machine tools, rolling mills, drilling rigs, mining machinery, general machinery, and high-speed, heavy-loaded machinery. In addition to manufacturing steel balls and bearing rings, they are also sometimes used in the manufacture of tools such as molds and measuring tools.
