This type of stainless steel offers many of the same characteristics as AISI 316 material but are slightly less anti magnetic and offer slightly less corrosion resistance. Nevertheless they are still widely used in many of the same industries. Balls are annealed (where they're heated quickly and allowed to cool slowly) and passivated (where a light coating of metal oxide is applied) these processes help them resist corrosion more effectively.
