Product Description:
Ground steel forgings (also often referred to as ground steel segments) are a type of metal grinding media made from high-quality steel through forging, cutting, heat treatment, and precision grinding processes. They are mainly used in grinding equipment such as ball mills and rod mills to grind and crush materials like ores, refractory materials, and chemical raw materials.
High Hardness and Wear ResistanceHigh-carbon steel or alloy steel (e.g., 45# steel, 65Mn steel) is usually adopted as the raw material. After quenching, tempering and other heat treatment processes, the hardness can reach HRC 55–62, which is far more wear-resistant than ordinary cast steel forgings. This effectively reduces wear during grinding and extends service life.
Precise Dimensions and ShapeThrough precision grinding, ground steel forgings feature tight tolerances in diameter and length, with smooth and burr-free surfaces. Common specifications include Φ12×12mm, Φ16×16mm, Φ20×20mm, etc. (customizable on demand). Mostly cylindrical in shape, they operate more stably in mills and deliver higher grinding efficiency.
Low Breakage RateThe forging process ensures a dense internal structure of the steel, avoiding defects such as air holes and porosity that are prone to occur in casting processes. Thus, ground steel forgings are not easy to break during high-intensity grinding operations, which reduces the generation of impurities in the mill and ensures the purity of the ground materials.
