Product Overview

Hollow brass balls carry a high reflective gold accent. They suit jewellery, lampshades, sculpture, church roof finials and floating balls, and the warm tone reads very differently from steel in the same shape.

Two forming routes cover the range: stamping press for the small and mid sizes with an invisible seam, and water pressuring for anything above ∅200mm at any custom diameter.

Key Benefits

  • Durable H62 brass alloy Stamping Press Made with mirror polished finished.
  • Standard punching hole mould size:∅19mm,∅25mm,∅32mm,∅38mm,∅50mm.
  • Metric and Unified Thread are both available.
  • MOQ:required-100PCS
  • Delivery Time:7days for Scheduled production.

Application Scenarios

  • Pendant and table lamp shades
  • Jewellery components
  • Church roof and spire finials
  • Sculpture and decorative hardware
  • Floating balls

Who It Is For

  • Decorative lighting manufacturers
  • Jewellery and small goods makers
  • Church and heritage restoration contractors
  • Furniture and interior fit-out workshops

Problems It Solves

  • Brass hemispheres bought loose rarely close cleanly. We weld, grind and polish the sphere as one part.
  • Lampshade spheres need a wiring aperture. Standard press hole moulds cover ∅19mm to ∅50mm without tooling cost.
  • Small brass balls usually have a minimum. Sizes under 200mm carry an MOQ, for example ∅100mm at 100 pieces.

Technical Features

  • Wall thickness available: 1.5mm, 1mm, 2.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm

Materials

We form spheres and hemispheres in AISI 304, AISI 316 and AISI 316L stainless steel, Q235 carbon steel, H62 brass alloy and A6061 aluminium alloy. The alloy decides corrosion resistance, weight and how the surface takes a polish.

For this product the standard specification is H62 Brass Alloy. Tell us the site conditions and we will confirm whether a different grade is worth the cost.

Manufacturing Process

Forming happens by stamping press, water pressuring, spinning or hand assembling. Two halves are joined at the equator, the weld is ground, and the surface is finished last, after any cutting or drilling has been done.

How a metal sphere is made Sheet is cut into blanks, formed into two hemispheres by stamping press, spinning or water pressuring, welded at the equator, ground, then mirror polished into a finished sphere.

Quality Control

  1. Incoming material

    Alloy and sheet thickness are checked against the order before any blank is cut.

  2. Forming check

    Diameter and wall are measured after pressing, spinning or water pressuring.

  3. Weld and grind

    The equator weld is inspected, then welds and burrs are ground off before finishing.

  4. Surface inspection

    Every piece is inspected for scratches, dents and polish consistency under light.

  5. Packing

    Protective packing is built around the diameter and weight, and photographs are sent before dispatch.

Customisation Options

  • Diameter and wall thickness to your drawing, with no mould limit above ∅200mm
  • Metric and unified threaded holes, drilled apertures and perforated patterns
  • Welded base tubes, base plates, internal ribs and pedestals
  • Mirror, brushed, sandblasted, etched, electroplated, PVD colour or spray painted finishes
  • Logos, lettering and world maps by sandblasting, etching, laser cutting or plasma cutting
  • LED kits fitted inside the sphere
  • Segmentation into quarters or eighths for sizes above container limits

Comparing forming routes rather than products? The process guide sets out size, thickness, seam and mould limit for each.

Use Guide

  1. Confirm the diameter first

    Diameter drives the forming route, the wall thickness, the price and the freight mode. Settle it before anything else.

  2. Match the alloy to the site

    304 inland, 316 near salt water or pools, Q235 where a rust patina is wanted, brass or aluminium where weight or colour matters.

  3. Choose the finish last

    Finishing always happens after forming, welding, cutting and grinding, so pattern edges stay clean.

  4. Plan the fixing

    Tell us whether the piece is bolted, threaded, welded to a base tube or suspended, and we build the fitting into the part.

  5. Check the shipping limit

    ∅2200mm fits a container, ∅3500mm fits a flat rack, and larger spheres are segmented with bolted ribs.

FAQ

What is the minimum order for small brass balls?
Sizes under 200mm (8 inch) carry a minimum. As an example, ∅100mm (4 inch) has an MOQ of 100 pieces. Larger sizes have no minimum.
Can I get the balls unpolished?
Yes. Raw finished brass is available if you intend to patinate or lacquer the surface yourself.
Can I order Large Brass Balls in a different size?
Yes above ∅200mm, where there is no standard mould limit. Below ∅250mm a customised size needs a new stamping press mould, charged at USD 1,000.
How is it packed and shipped?
Protective packing is built around the diameter and weight. Samples and small orders go by DHL, UPS, FedEx or Aramex in 3 to 7 days. Larger orders go by air in around 3 days to your airport or by sea in 15 to 30 days.
What do you need from me to quote?
Diameter, wall thickness, material, finish, quantity and delivery country. A drawing or a photo helps and can be sent over WhatsApp.
