HOW TO PRODUCE THE QUALIFIED CASTING CHROME GRINDING MEDIA BALLS?

The manufacturing process of casting chrome grinding media consists of 6 Main Steps: Melting – Raw material analysis – Molding(making grinding balls) – Separating & Cleaning – Heat Treatment – Packaging. For each step matches with the certain equipment, including induction melting furnace, balls making production line (metal mold), grinding media separating and cleaning machine, heat treatment machine ( quenching & tempering) and auxiliary equipment, such as lab testers, precoated sand recycling plant, etc.

For each step, we recommend Valued, Plus, and Delux equipment based on our client’s requirements. Considering target countries’ labor, the environment situation will suggest the fully automatic and manual producing process to our clients.

The below picture shows how to manufacture grinding balls.

STEP 1#  Melting Part

Melting is the first step for making grinding media.  Also, there are several different furnaces to melt in the world. Gathering information from hundreds of grinding balls foundries across home and abroad,  we can find undoubtedly that medium frequency induction furnace is the most welcomed and functional.

Medium frequency induction furnace divides into two big groups, one is an aluminum shell, and another is steel shell type. Each type has the capacity from 0.25tons to 5tons with advantages. 

However, if only used for grinding ball project, we usually relate the size of the furnace to the customer’s target annual production so that to reduce the energy-wasting and costs.

Step 2#  Making grinding balls

After the raw material melt and the composition of molten iron accords with the standard of grinding ball production, then start to manufacture grinding balls, we call this process as MOLDING.

The balls producing size is from dia10mm to dia150mm, also includes casting cylpebs, and the chrome contenting is below 30%. 

There are two methods to produce: Manual metal mold (balls dies) & Automatic grinding balls molding line. The former has low investment cost and high flexibility; The latter has a high degree of automation with a prodigious output. They can meet the production requirements of different customers.

Step 3# Separating & Cleaning

After molding, the grinding media are formed with runners, pouring gate and sand together. (Sand is the necessary ingredients during the molding process). What we need to do is to separate and clean.  Ensure the grinding media clean and individual is essential to the next steps.

In this part, we recommend you two whole different machines to finish this job. One is simple but works efficiently, and another is more used in high productivity and high automation.

Step 4#  HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS

To manufacturer grinding balls for good quality, the heat treatment process is vital. It influences the ball’s HRC, impact value, and internal microstructures. 

There are two necessary steps for casting chrome balls: quenching and tempering. Quenching, including air & oil quench, is to increase balls’ HRC. High chrome balls, Cr over 10%, need to do this process. For tempering, both low chrome and high chrome balls should do.  It is to eliminate the inner, so that ensure the ball’s HRC from core to the surface are uniformly and increase its tenacity.

There are two heating types for the heat treatment process, electricity and gas type. The client can consider the national price of energy to choose what you prefer.

AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

Four steps are the main parts to manufacture grinding balls. Besides, there is some other auxiliary equipment, like Lab testing equipment, waste sand recycling machine, pouring ladle car for balls forming, sand mixer, balls selection machine, etc. 

For lab testers, such as the spectrometer, Rockwell hardness tester, falling ball test machine, and microscope, plays a vital role during the producing process. They help in point 2 & 4 process on the above Producing Flows Diagram. 

Here is a brief description of the laboratory equipment.
