STEEL BALLS

I WOULD BE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO RECEIVE HELP WITH IDENTIFYING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CAST STEEL BALLS AND FORGED STEEL BALLS?

cast steel balls are made of cast iron

forged steel balls are made via a forging process

Thank you. I was looking for tensile strengths, hardness, chemical compositions, wearability/consumption and other technical factors differentiating one from the other.

If I am not wrong the OP is asking for steel balls used in Tube mills ? As far as I know this is the only one where both these are used.

Other area (except that one ) where the balls are used are the ball bearings and no castings there.

All your property requirements will depend on material.

Check the properties of the specifications in casting and forgings shape is immaterial.
