In 2026, Haoyang Casting and Forging of Jinan will launch gradient hardness forged steel balls. Using the "double-frequency quenching" process, the surface hardness reaches 65HRC while the core has a toughness of 15J/cm², resulting in a 50% increase in wear resistance and a 40% improvement in mining grinding efficiency. This technology has obtained a national patent and has been supplied in batches to enterprises such as Zijin Mining and exported overseas. The company plans to invest 20 million yuan to expand the production line, with a target annual production capacity of 30,000 tons, aiming to occupy 30% of the domestic high-end market share.

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.

Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging has built the first low-carbon casting and forging steel ball production line in China. The energy consumption per ton of steel is 320 kilograms of standard coal, which is 28% lower than the industry average. It reduces carbon emissions by 5,600 tons annually and has been awarded the title of "Shandong Province Green Factory". Through technologies such as natural gas heating and steel slag recycling, the utilization rate of raw materials reaches 98%. The proportion of green products exported is 45%. In the first half of 2025, the company's revenue increased by 19%. The company has established a carbon footprint traceability system and plans to achieve 100% clean energy substitution within three years, creating a "zero-carbon forging" base.

Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging Co., Ltd. has launched a new generation of high-maintenance cast and forged steel balls. Through the "forging + heat treatment" process, the product lifespan has been increased by 30%. The diameters range from 20mm to 150mm, with a hardness of 58-62 HRC and an impact toughness of ≥ 12J/cm². As a specialized, innovative and high-quality enterprise with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons, its products have been exported to countries such as Australia and Chile. In the first half of 2025, the revenue has increased by 18%. The company plans to invest 50 million yuan to build an intelligent workshop, with the goal of achieving a high-end market share of over 60% within three years.

The "gradient hardening forging steel ball" developed by Haoyang Casting and Forging in Jinan has achieved a significant breakthrough: the wear resistance and service life have been increased by 80%, and the surface hardness reaches HRC 62-65. It adopts the "double-frequency induction quenching + digital twin production" technology, with a raw material utilization rate of 95% and a tonnage steel energy consumption reduction of 18%. This product has broken the dependence on imports, outperforming international brands in terms of performance. It has received 5,000 tons of orders and has increased annual output value by 120 million yuan. The enterprise has jointly established a laboratory with Shandong University to promote the transformation of traditional forging industry towards intelligence and greenness, and to assist Zhangqiu in building a wear-resistant material industrial cluster.

The data quality inspector of the government office went to global steel ball suppliers. Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging achieved a turnaround by adopting a data-driven model: an export map covering 23 countries, a 300% increase in revenue, and UN procurement qualifications. Its original "steel ball digital ID" system, integrating data quality inspection experience from the government office and industrial 4.0 technology, enables each steel ball to be traced through 38 processes. The green forging standards it led in formulating will drive a 40% reduction in industry carbon emissions.

Jinan Haoyang Forging & Casting Co., Ltd. recently achieved a breakthrough in the performance of forged steel balls through its independently developed "gradient forging" technology. The wear resistance and service life of the steel balls have increased by 20% compared to industry standards, and the company has successfully entered the high-end mining machinery market in Europe. This technology precisely controls the temperature gradient during forging, ensuring that the surface hardness of the steel balls reaches 62-65 HRC while maintaining the toughness of the core. It solves the industry problem of "hard but brittle" in traditional products. Currently, the company produces 30,000 tons of forged steel balls annually, and its products have obtained the EU CE certification. It has established long-term cooperation with enterprises in Germany and Turkey, and has become a leading enterprise in the export of forged steel balls in East China.

Jinan Haoyang Forging & Casting Co., Ltd. has achieved rapid development through technological innovation. Its independently developed gradient forging wear-resistant steel balls have increased their service life by 40%. In 2025, it successfully entered the European market. The company integrates traditional techniques with intelligent technologies and has developed "stress-sensing steel balls" that enable full lifecycle monitoring. The annual export volume has increased by 65%. As a high-tech enterprise, Haoyang Forging & Casting follows a specialized and innovative path. It has broken the foreign monopoly in the field of wear-resistant materials for mining machinery and is currently planning to build an institute to expand the production of special forgings for deep-sea engineering, aiming to become a global supplier of wear-resistant material solutions.
