Grinding Steel Media

Grinding Steel media is used in these processes to grind or crush material to both reduce particle size and refine material. Normally, carbon steel balls AISI 1010 & AISI 1085 are used for common low speed grain grinding such as metal or chemical powders. For high speed ball mill grinding process such as paints, inks or resin powders, chrome alloy steel balls AISI52100 are usually used for extended durability.

Selecting the proper media for grinding and milling operations is essential. Grinding media is used in these processes to grind or crush material to both reduce particle size and refine material. Grinding media is available in a broad variety of materials and sizes. Which media is appropriate depends on the specifics of the intended application.

Mixing, crushing, dispersing, and purifying variable materials generally requires some type of grinding media ball. Various properties influence how the work material is processed and how long the media can be used for. Many facets of grinding media can be customized, such as:

• Material composition
• Density
• Bulk density
• Hardness
• Surface finish
• Color
