Carbon Steel Tumbling Media
Carbon Steel Tumbling Media is used for burnishing and polishing metals. The high bulk density exerts added pressure to a mass of parts producing a high shine in reduced finishing times. Carbon Steel Tumbling Media is also used for surface work-hardening.

| Round balls without flats for more critical finishing requirements. Produces the best finish. It also creates the best surface. | Beveled edges of diagonally cut ends provide effective finishing action in corners. Cylindrical body offers wide area contacts. Good burnishing action with the ability to reach corners and recesses. |

| This design combines the burnishing abilities of balls and cones into one scientifically proportioned shape. Good burnishing action with the ability to reach corners and recesses. | Tapering to pointed ends, pins reach into recesses and grooves, deflash through-holes and clean threaded areas. Strictly for reaching recesses. Must be mixed with other shapes to produce good results. |

| Round balls with slight flattening at pole ends. Precise roundness is not required for the majority of steel media finishing applications. Thus, two small flat spots at opposite poles are not objectionable. Pole-flattened balls are less expensive to manufacture and customers benefit from these economies through lower prices. | This shape introduces an oscillating motion to the finishing mass and provides more surface-to-surface contact than balls. |
