Alloy hammer heads: Maintenance Guide
Without high-quality alloy hammer heads, the crusher is prone to material jamming and has a low powder yield.
Four Core Values of Alloy Hammer Heads
High wear resistance: Can withstand repeated impacts from ores and stones.
Enhance efficiency: Increase the production capacity of the crusher by 15% to 30%.
Impact resistance: Reduce replacement frequency.
Common Types of Alloy Hammer Heads and Applicable Scenarios
High-chromium alloy hammer head: The highest hardness
High manganese steel alloy hammer head: Good toughness and impact resistance
Composite alloy hammer head: Combining the advantages of high-chromium and high-manganese steel
Low-chromium alloy hammer heads: High cost performance
Five Key Steps for Choosing the Right Alloy Hammer Head
Clarify the material to be crushed: For hard materials, choose high-chromium alloy.
For medium-hard materials, choose high manganese steel.
For soft materials, choose low-chromium alloy.
Match the model of the crusher: Based on the size of the feed port and the rotational speed of the crusher.
Select the hammer head of the corresponding weight and size to avoid misalignment.
Check the alloy composition: The chromium content of high-quality alloy hammer heads is ≥15%.
Carbon content ≤2.5%.
The supplier can be requested to provide a material inspection report.
Pay attention to the production process: Give priority to choosing hammer heads with the “lost-wax casting + heat treatment” process.
There are no sand holes on the surface and the internal structure is more uniform.
Practical Tips for Extending the Service Life of Alloy Hammer Heads
Control the feed particle size: The feed size should not exceed the upper limit specified by the crusher.
Avoid oversized materials hitting the hammer head to prevent it from cracking.
Regular inspection and maintenance: Open the observation window of the crusher every week.
Clean the material adhering to the surface of the hammer head.
Check if the hammer head is loose.
Adjust the gap reasonably: According to the fineness requirements of the crushed materials.
Adjust the gap between the hammer head and the liner.
