The Impact crusher hammer plate is one of the key components in crushing machines. When crushing materials with high hardness and strength, such as hard rocks, it is essential to use a durable hammer plate material. There are three main materials used in manufacturing hammer plates: high manganese steel, alloy steel, and high chromium cast iron. Both the hammer plate and the impact plate are prone to wear, especially when crushing tough ores, leading to significant wear and tear. As a result, the cost of replacing hammer plates and impact plates can account for a significant portion of the operational costs in sand and gravel production lines.
In general, the service life of crusher hammer plates is relatively short, and they are subject to high wear. Since the hammer plate is a key wear part, its quality directly affects the efficiency of the crusher. Red Apple Foundry prioritizes sand casting for manufacturing hammer plates. This method is cost-effective, has a simpler production process, and a shorter production cycle compared to other casting methods.
Why Do Hammer Plates Wear Out Quickly?
There are two main reasons for the short lifespan of hammer plates:
Inappropriate material selection for the hammer plate.
Improper design of the hammer plate structure.
Materials for Impact Crusher Hammer Plates
Hammer plates are generally made from high manganese steel, high chromium cast iron, alloy steel, ductile iron, or other abrasion-resistant materials. Many crusher manufacturers prefer high manganese steel for hammer plates due to its excellent wear resistance.
Hammer plates come in a variety of shapes, including strip, T-shape, S-shape, I-shape, and grooved shapes. The strip shape is the most common. When a hammer plate experiences minor wear, we recommend welding a layer of wear-resistant material onto carbon steel or high manganese steel. When the hammer plate is turned around for reuse, all plates in the crusher should be turned together to avoid an imbalance in rotor weight. If not, the equipment may vibrate during operation.
Hammer plates made of high chromium cast iron, high manganese steel, and other wear-resistant alloy steels are capable of withstanding both impact and abrasion. These plates can crush high-hardness materials effectively. The structural design of the hammer plate is optimized, making it quick to install and replace, which significantly reduces downtime.
