Mining industry
The quality of grinding media, such as grinding steel balls and wear-resistant steel segments, plays a decisive role in the grinding process.
1. The consumption of grinding media accounts for more than 30% of a concentrator’s operating costs, making it the second-largest consumable expense after electricity.
2. High-quality, wear-resistant steel balls maintain a stable gradation within the mill and are resistant to changes in composition. This not only enhances the fineness of the ground mineral powder and boosts hourly throughput but also ensures consistent product quality, thereby improving both the production quality and efficiency of the mill and reducing overall production costs for the enterprise.
3. Shougang Company can supply grinding balls of varying hardness to meet the specific needs of different mines, with ball diameters ranging from 10 mm to 150 mm. Proven best practices in copper, gold, and lead–zinc mines demonstrate that Shougang steel balls help customers significantly reduce procurement costs, increase grinding throughput, and deliver substantial economic benefits.
4. For Shougang products, our company can provide more suitable steel balls tailored to the specific needs of mining customers.
Cement industry
1. The hardness, corrosion resistance, and breakage rate of wear-resistant media such as cast steel balls and cast steel forgings significantly influence the production and processing costs and operational efficiency of ball mills in the cement industry.
2. The cement industry widely employs high-chromium cast steel balls and ultra‑high‑chromium cast steel balls, which offer excellent resistance to high temperatures, superior wear resistance, and a low breakage rate. These products also extend the interval between ball replenishments, reduce workers’ physical exertion, and—most notably—significantly decrease the quantity of replacement balls required. Thanks to their outstanding wear‑resistance, Shougang grinding balls and grinding segments have earned widespread acclaim from customers in the cement sector.
3. Shougang can manufacture cast steel grinding balls for cement mills, with chromium content ranging from 10% to 28% and diameters from 10 mm to 120 mm, tailored to the operating conditions of cement plants and customers’ specific requirements for corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Thermal power generation
1. Thermal power generation is the mainstay of modern electricity development, and the consumption of steel balls plays a significant role in power plant operating costs.
2. Shougang Steel Balls can, based on the hardness and particle size of the customer’s coal as well as the condition of the mill liners, supply wear‑resistant steel balls of various specialized hardnesses, such as forged steel balls with a hardness of HRC 35–45 and ZQCR1 cast wear‑resistant steel balls with a hardness of HRC 40–45.
3. Our company can manufacture and supply steel balls with high hardness, low wear, and low breakage rates tailored to the specific requirements of power plants, such as Shougang ZQCR2, ZQCR10, and ZQCR17. These products have been successfully used by power plants, helping to reduce their production costs.
Chemical industry
1. Wear-resistant steel balls and steel segments are widely used in the chemical industry, for example in the grinding of various chemical ores such as phosphate rock, silica sand, and potassium feldspar. As important chemical raw materials, these ores must undergo crushing, grinding, and processing.
2. Shougang can manufacture and supply, according to customers’ specific requirements, high‑hardness wear‑resistant steel bars, high‑chromium cast steel balls, and forged steel balls that are highly resistant to breakage, possess superior hardness, and exhibit excellent corrosion resistance.
3. Meanwhile, Shougang steel ball products are widely used in the grinding of chemical raw materials such as synthetic fibers, pigments, paints, coatings, and fertilizers. Their consistent quality and reasonable pricing have earned unanimous praise from customers.
Excavator
1. The building materials industry is a key segment of the materials sector. Building material products encompass construction materials and related manufactured goods, such as those used in the alumina industry, the concrete pipe pile industry, and cement board production. Ball mill grinding media—steel balls—as well as steel forgings and wear-resistant steel bars are widely employed across these industries.
2. Shougang can, according to customer requirements, supply high‑hardness, low‑wear, roundness‑preserving cast steel balls of high, medium, and low chromium content, as well as wear‑resistant steel bars and forged steel balls.
3. The ZQCR18 cast steel balls from Shougang have been successfully applied in alumina ball mill systems, while the ZQCR12 has proven effective in the precast concrete pile industry, helping customers reduce production costs and improve productivity.
Shougang also offers a wide range of flexible metal conduits, manufactured by helically winding hot-dip galvanized steel strips. The inner layer features a flame-retardant insulation, enhancing flame resistance, water resistance, corrosion protection, and tensile and compressive strength. This innovative electrical conduit is widely used in the construction industry. Please contact our company promptly if you have any requirements.
