First, with technological upgrading as the core, build a moat of product competitiveness The essence of upgrading the wear-resistant materials industry lies in enhancing product performance and added value through technological breakthroughs, thereby breaking the perception of "low quality and low price" in overseas markets. Material formula innovation: In response to the wear requirements of different working conditions (such as mining, cement, and metallurgy), customized wear-resistant material formulas are developed. For instance, by optimizing the proportion of alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum and nickel, and combining microalloying techniques (such as adding vanadium and titanium to refine grains), the balance between the hardness (HRC≥60) and toughness (impact toughness ≥12J/cm²) of forged steel balls can be enhanced, addressing the pain points of traditional products being either "hard and brittle" or "tough and soft". Meanwhile, computer simulation technology (such as JMatPro thermodynamic simulation) is introduced to predict material properties, shortening the R&D cycle by more than 30%.

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

Forged steel balls are wear-resistant grinding media formed by carbon steel or alloy steel through forging processes and are widely used in ball mills in fields such as mining and metallurgy. Their production process includes steel bar cutting, medium-frequency heating, air hammer forging, and quenching and tempering treatment, ensuring a surface hardness of 58-65 HRC, good toughness in the core, and a breakage rate of less than 0.5%. Compared to cast steel balls, forged steel balls have higher density and impact resistance, a lifespan that is 2-5 times longer, and a lower price. Currently, domestic enterprises enhance efficiency through automated production lines, and their products are exported to regions such as Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, with an annual growth rate of over 12%. In the future, new material research and intelligent production will drive further industry upgrading.

As a national-level high-tech enterprise specializing in wear-resistant materials in Zhangqiu District, Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging Co., Ltd. has been consistently leading the global market for mining grinding media with its independently developed B2/B3 series forged steel balls. In 2025, the company achieved a significant technological breakthrough, enhancing the uniformity of steel ball hardness by 15% through an intelligent temperature-controlled quenching process. The products are exported to over 30 countries. Leveraging the digital marketing system of Alibaba International Station, the overseas orders in the first half of the year increased by 40%. The company now holds 18 invention patents and was the first to obtain ISO 14064 carbon footprint certification, promoting sustainable development of the industry through green manufacturing. The annual production capacity has exceeded 100,000 tons, and it provides customized grinding solutions for the top 500 global mining groups.
