This cobalt-based material, known as STELLITE®, offers remarkable resistance to extreme wear and temperature conditions. Its exceptional performance results from the precise composition of the CoCr matrix, enriched with dispersed carbides. Our balls are supplied in passive state, using only virgin raw materials to guarantee their quality. Marteau- Lemarie, with more than 40 years of expertise, assures you a quick availability from our stock in France.
