Chromium Alloyed Grinding Balls are high-performance grinding media used in ball mills for material refinement across mining, cement, and chemical industries . Manufactured via precision casting, these balls feature adjustable chromium content (10-18% for high-chrome grades) to match varying abrasion requirements. Our grinding balls deliver consistent particle size reduction while minimizing wear-related downtime.

High-chrome grades (10-18% Cr) form a martensitic matrix with M7C3 carbides, achieving a hardness of 58-63 HRC and resisting abrasion 3x better than low-chrome alternatives . The microstructure ensures uniform wear, avoiding irregular shapes that reduce grinding efficiency.
Even with high hardness, our grinding balls maintain an impact value of ≥3.5 J/cm², preventing shattering in high-impact ball mill operations .
With a annual capacity of 30,000 tons, we supply batches from 5 tons (MOQ) to large-scale industrial orders, supporting cement plants and mines worldwide .
