Hao Yang Engineer's Explanation: How to Select Steel Balls for Ball Mills?
Having been deeply engaged in the field of wear-resistant materials for over a decade, Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging has led the industry development with its innovative technologies.
Jinan News: Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging Co., Ltd., located in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, has been focusing on technological innovation and product upgrading in the field of wear-resistant materials since its establishment in 2011. It has now developed into a high-tech enterprise that integrates the research, production and sales of castings, forgings, steel balls, steel rods, etc. The company adheres to the strict standards of ISO9001 quality management system certification and the corporate spirit of "continual improvement and pioneering innovation". Its products not only cover key industries such as metallurgy, mining and building materials in China, but are also exported to overseas markets such as the United States and Europe. The annual export earning capacity reaches 6 million US dollars, making it a benchmark enterprise for regional wear-resistant material exports.
As an important member of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry in Zhangqiu District, Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging has been deeply engaged in core products such as wear-resistant steel balls, cast balls, and steel rods. By integrating advanced casting and forging equipment with independent research and development, it has established a complete quality control system from raw material selection to product inspection. Its flagship product, high-chromium wear-resistant steel balls, adopts the "medium-frequency induction furnace smelting + metal mold casting" process, with a hardness of up to HRC 60-65, impact toughness of ≥ 3.0 J/cm², and a service life that is over 40% higher than that of traditional products. It is widely used in heavy equipment such as ball mills and crushers. To meet customers' individual needs, the company can also customize a series of steel balls with diameters ranging from Φ20mm to Φ150mm and non-standard forgings, and provide extended products such as flanges and automotive parts, forming a "one-stop wear-resistant solution" service capability.
Taking advantage of the geographical location along the eastern industrial corridor of Jinan, the company is close to the Jiqing Expressway, Jiaozi Railway and Yiaoxiang International Airport, and its logistics network covers the whole country. In recent years, by increasing investment in related products such as silicon carbide deoxidizers and metallurgical furnace materials, Jinan Haoyang Casting and Forging has gradually established a business model driven by "wear-resistant materials + metallurgical auxiliary materials". In 2024, the company achieved sales revenue of over 100 million yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 18%. In the future, the company plans to invest 20 million yuan to expand its intelligent production line and introduce advanced technologies such as industrial robot welding and three-dimensional scanning detection. It aims to increase the annual production capacity of steel balls to 50,000 tons within three years and build the most competitive wear-resistant material production base in East China.
