What are the grinding steel ball processing technology

Grinding steel balls are usually used as grinding media for ball mills, which can be made of steel (chrome steel) or stainless steel. Abrasive media steel balls are a consumable item. Its main purpose is to grind the material to make it finer and reach the standard of use. There are three types of steel ball manufacturing processes: forging, rolling and casting. The following editors will introduce to you separately.

Casting: The quality of cast steel balls mainly depends on the chromium content. In recent years, the price of chromium has continued to rise, and environmental protection factors have led to the rising cost of cast steel balls.

Forging: Using high manganese steel as raw material, using pneumatic forging hammer with ball die to manufacture steel balls. It has the characteristics of less investment, quick start, but high dependence on people.

Rolling: High-manganese steel rods are used as raw materials, and steel balls are manufactured using a rolling mill with a dedicated spiral hole die. High production efficiency and high degree of automation, but high investment costs.
