The green forging steel balls produced by Haoyang Casting and Forging in Jinan are made from 100% recycled steel materials. Their energy consumption has been reduced by 45% and carbon emissions have decreased by 35%. They have been included in the national green manufacturing list. The wear of the Φ60mm steel balls is 0.8 kg/t of raw materials, saving 18% of electricity. They have passed the EU REACH certification and have collaborated with LafargeHolcim. In the first quarter, exports increased by 30%. A photovoltaic workshop will be built and full-process carbon neutrality will be achieved by 2026.

Recently, Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Haoyang Casting and Forging") has launched a new generation of high-performance forged balls. Through the integrated process of "forging + isothermal quenching", the service life of the products has been increased by 35%, and the wear resistance has exceeded that of traditional cast balls by more than 15%. This has attracted widespread attention from the mining and construction industries. This series of forged balls covers a full range of specifications from 20mm to 150mm. After being tested by the National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for Casting and Forging Machinery, the surface hardness reaches 58-62 HRC, the impact toughness is ≥ 12J/cm², and the comprehensive performance has reached the international advanced level.

Forged balls, as the core product of wear-resistant materials, are widely used in grinding equipment in fields such as mining, metallurgy, and building materials. Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging Co., Ltd. has been deeply engaged in the field of forged steel balls for over a decade. By optimizing the "heating - forging - heat treatment" process chain, the hardness and wear resistance of the steel balls have been enhanced. The product lifespan is significantly longer than that of ordinary cast steel balls, and the products are exported to overseas markets such as the United States. The company takes advantage of the manufacturing cluster advantages in Zhangqiu District to form an "production + trade" integrated model, covering the entire industrial chain of castings, forgings, and metallurgical furnace materials. As a high-tech enterprise, its forged steel balls have formed competitiveness in fields such as mining machinery and automotive parts due to their wear resistance and stability. It also strengthens logistics efficiency through its transportation location advantages (adjacent to Jiqing Expressway and Jinan Yaoqiang Airport). In the future, the enterprise will continue to explore alloy composition optimization and green manufacturing technologies to drive the expansion of the global wear-resistant material market through technological innovation.
