On April 20, 2026, the forged steel balls produced by Jinan Haoyang Forging and Casting Co., Ltd. were successfully applied to a large-scale green mining project. These products have the advantages of high hardness, good wear resistance, and low breakage rate, which can effectively improve the grinding efficiency, reduce energy consumption and dust emissions, and help the mine achieve sustainable development. The general manager of the company, Chen Jinfu, stated that the company will continue to strive to provide customers with high-quality and high-performance products and services, and promote the green development of the industry.

On April 10, 2026, Jinan Haoyang Forging & Casting Co., Ltd. held a new product launch event in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, presenting its newly developed high-performance forged steel ball products. These products utilize advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality raw materials, featuring high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and long service life. They can meet the demands of the mining, cement, and power industries for high-performance grinding media. At the event, General Manager Chen Jinfu introduced the background of the new product's development, technical features, and application prospects, attracting the attention of numerous customers and industry experts.

Forged Steel Balls: Innovation and Application Summary As key wear-resistant media for ball mills, forged steel balls are manufactured via 700-1300℃ heating and forging. They feature smooth surfaces, high impact resistance, strong toughness, and low breakage rate, with wear resistance comparable to high-chromium cast balls at a lower cost, widely used in mining and cement industries. Made of low-carbon alloy steel or high manganese steel, they are favored by mining giants like Rio Tinto and BHP. China, a major steel ball consumer, boosts production capacity and performance through intelligent forging equipment, promoting global exports and demonstrating "Made in China" competitiveness

Product Overview of Jinan Haoyang Cast and Forged High Chromium Balls (2025) Jinan Haoyang Forging and Casting Co., Ltd. specializes in manufacturing high-end high-chromium balls with a hardness of 60-65HRC. The products are produced through hot-rolling and forging processes to ensure a low breakage rate and are widely used in the mining, cement, and thermal power industries. Certified by ISO9001, the company supports full-size customization ranging from 10 to 160mm and exports to over 30 countries worldwide, with an annual production capacity of over 30,000 tons. Its products have performed exceptionally well in international projects such as the Chilean copper mine, with a single consumption of only 0.8kg per ton of ore in wet grinding conditions and a lifespan twice as long. The company continuously innovates in technology to promote energy-saving upgrades in wear-resistant materials.

The self-developed HT-3 heat treatment process has passed ISO 9001 certification, and the life cycle test has reached the international leading level**.

The New development of Forged Grinding balls Production Technology

Forged steel balls can eliminate the defects such as as-cast looseness generated during the smelting process of the metal by forged, optimize the microstructure and save the complete metal streamline, so the quality of forged steel balls is very important. So how to check the quality of forged steel balls. Now I will introduce the requirements and methods for the quality inspection of forged steel balls. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
