Choosing high-quality high-alumina grinding balls is crucial for efficient and effective grinding processes. Here are some key factors to consider:

Material and purity:

• Alumina content: Opt for balls with an alumina content of 92% or higher. This ensures optimal hardness, wear resistance, and strength.

• Sintering process: Look for balls produced through isostatic pressing, which leads to uniform density and superior quality compared to rolling or dry pressing methods.

• Firing process: Slow firing in a tunnel kiln is preferable to roller kiln firing as it results in more consistent and thorough sintering throughout the ball.

Physical properties:

• Hardness: Aim for balls with a Mohs hardness of 78 or higher. This ensures they can effectively grind even hard materials without excessive wear.

• Density: Higher density (around 3.6 g/cm³) translates to greater grinding efficiency and impact force.

• Surface quality: Choose balls with a smooth and uniform surface free of cracks, chips, or voids. Roughness can hinder grinding performance and increase contamination risks.

Size and gradation:

• Ball size: Select the appropriate ball size based on the size and type of material being ground. Generally, larger balls are used for coarser grinding, while smaller balls are better for finer grinding.

• Gradation: A proper mix of different ball sizes (e.g., 4:4:2 ratio of large, medium, and small balls) optimizes grinding efficiency and prevents ball caking.
