These 5 64 2mm ceramic diff balls are commonly used team associated rc18. Then use the ceramic for final sharpen. Ceramic bearings vs steel bearings ceramic materials offer superior corrosion and heat resistance higher dimensional stability and lower density which facilitates high speed. The silicon carbide reinforcements of these ceramic inserts are often referred to as whiskers because they resemble small hairs when examined under a microscope.

As for hardness tungsten carbide is measured in the vickers scale well beyond the range of the rockwell c scale. If it wont sharpen with the ceramic. Only go the same direction with the blade. Pull back about 3 to 4 times.

Silicon nitride sin4 alumina oxide al2o3 zirconia oxide zro2 silicon carbide sic because ceramic is a glass like surface it has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is ideal for applications seeking to reduce friction. You simply want to use the ceramic only. Each ball is over 1000x more round than the best steel bearing of any type grade or benchmark.

We definitively address the debate of tungsten carbide vs ceramic rings. Price is for 10 balls as shown. Used in precision applications including in bicycles or anywhere where high strength low friction low rotational mass and high speed is required. Then use the carbide first to repair recut the blade.

These 3 16 ceramic balls will fit most bicycle front hubs and some headsets.
