Tungsten carbide hammers are recommended for crushers due to their superior properties compared to traditional materials like high-manganese steel or chromium-iron alloys. Here are the key reasons:
1. Exceptional Wear Resistance: Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials, second only to diamond, with a Mohs hardness of around 9. This makes it highly resistant to abrasion and wear, significantly extending the hammer’s lifespan under high-stress conditions, such as crushing hard materials like metals, sand, or ores.
2. Improved Impact Resistance: High-cobalt coarse-grained tungsten carbide alloys used in hammers offer a balance of wear resistance and impact toughness, making them ideal for crushing equipment that handles tough, abrasive materials. This reduces the risk of cracking or chipping during operation.
3. Extended Service Life: Compared to traditional materials, tungsten carbide hammers can last several times longer—often 4 to 10 times the life of high-manganese steel or chromium-iron alloy hammers. This reduces downtime, maintenance costs, and the frequency of replacements.
4. Clean Crushing for Sensitive Materials: In applications like crushing new energy materials (e.g., lithium, silicon, uranium, or gallium), tungsten carbide hammers minimize contamination due to their non-polluting properties. This is critical for maintaining the purity of precious or sensitive materials.
5. Enhanced Efficiency: The durability and hardness of tungsten carbide allow for consistent performance, maintaining the hammer’s shape and cutting efficiency over time. This results in finer granularity of crushed output and higher equipment capacity.
6. Versatility Across Applications: Tungsten carbide hammers are suitable for both vertical and horizontal crushers and can be used in industries like mining, construction, metallurgy, and recycling. They are also used in related components like linings, sieve plates, and jaw plates, ensuring comprehensive wear protection.
7. Cost-Effectiveness Over Time: While tungsten carbide hammers have a higher upfront cost, their extended lifespan and reduced maintenance needs lead to significant cost savings in the long run, especially in demanding applications.
Critical Note: While tungsten carbide is highly durable, it can be brittle if not properly engineered or used in inappropriate applications. Selecting the right grade and ensuring proper maintenance are crucial to maximizing benefits. Additionally, always verify supplier claims about durability, as performance can vary based on manufacturing quality.
