Features:
- Material Composition – Typically contain 10-32% chromium (Cr), along with carbon (C), manganese (Mn), and molybdenum (Mo) for enhanced properties.
- High Hardness – Achieve 58-68 HRC, providing excellent resistance to wear and deformation.
- Superior Wear Resistance – High Cr content forms hard carbides, significantly reducing wear in grinding applications.
- Good Corrosion Resistance – Ideal for wet grinding and acidic environments, such as mineral processing.
- Brittleness – More brittle than low-Cr or forged grinding balls, requiring proper heat treatment to balance hardness and toughness.
- Heat Treatment – Undergo quenching and tempering to optimize microstructure and improve performance.
- Applications – Used in cement plants, mining, and power stations, especially in environments requiring high wear and corrosion resistance.

FAQs
Forged grinding balls are made by heating and shaping high-carbon or alloy steel under high pressure, resulting in superior hardness, impact resistance, and longevity. Cast grinding balls are produced by melting and pouring metal into molds, offering a cost-effective solution for less demanding grinding environments. Forged balls excel in high-impact mining operations, while cast balls are ideal for lower-impact scenarios like cement or coal grinding.
Choose forged balls for high-impact, large-scale mining (e.g., copper, gold) where durability and low wear rates are critical.
Choose cast balls for cost-sensitive applications with softer materials (e.g., limestone, coal) or smaller operations.
