How To Choose The Right Hammer Material?

Jul 10, 2025

1. Select the hammer material according to the size of the impact load
1) When the particle size of the crushed material is large, the impact load borne by the hammer head is also larger, therefore, the alloy of high-strength and high-manganese steel should be selected, and its toughness can ensure safe use;
2) The heavier the weight of the hammer, the greater the blockiness of the crushed material, and the greater the impact load on the hammer, so the first consideration should be to improve its hardness under the premise of ensuring the toughness of the hammer;
3) For small and medium-sized hammerheads, the impact load is small, and the use of high manganese steel can not exert its work hardening characteristics, and can not achieve the wear-resistant effect, so high and medium carbon low alloy steel and medium carbon alloy steel materials should be selected.

2. Select the hammer material according to the characteristics of the material
When choosing the material of the hammer, it is necessary to fully understand the composition of the crushed material and its hardness, particle size, sharpness of sharp corners, moisture, etc. The higher the hardness of the material, the higher the hardness requirements for the hammer material; The larger the blockiness of the material, the higher the toughness requirements.
Practical experience shows that the material hardness of the hammer should be more than 0.8 times of the hardness of the material. On this basis, take into account the size and speed of the hammer head and choose a material with reasonable hardness and toughness.

3. Select the hammer head material according to the crusher structure
1) The hammer head of the ordinary hammer crusher is fixed on the shaft by the hammer frame, the centrifugal force is large during operation, and the hammer head is subjected to large impact load, so high-toughness and wear-resistant materials should be selected;
2) The hammer head of the impact hammer crusher is embedded in the runner, and wear-resistant materials with low toughness can be used;
3) The larger the size of the crusher, the greater the weight of the hammer, the greater the momentum and impulse, the higher the requirements for the hammer, and the wear-resistant materials with high toughness should be selected.

4. Choose the hammer head material according to the economy
When selecting the hammer material, we should also take into account the technical and economic effects, and strive to achieve high quality and low price, and have market competitiveness. At the same time, the rationality of the process should be considered, so that the production plant can easily organize production and quality control.
