In this article, we will compare the grinding efficiency during using the steel grinding balls and the cast iron cylpebs (alloyed by chromium). We have been published the articles on our website where we have proved the use of grinding balls for grinding material is much more effective than the use of cast iron cylpebs, by mathematical calculations basis. Also, we have repeatedly mentioned all leading Ukrainian mining and processing plants, aerated concrete and cement plants have refused to use the cylpebs. To make this decision, the country’s leading enterprises only took into account the mathematical calculations, but some of them need to conduct the comparative tests. ENERGOSTEEL Company conducted an industrial test for replacement the cast iron cylpebs (alloyed by chromium) by the steel grinding balls at one of the Ukrainian aerated concrete plants at the beginning of 2019. Methodology for conducting industrial tests had developed together with the customer’s technical specialists. The test has been conducted by the substitution method. We have calculated and proposed the 25mm – 40mm grinding balls assembly for the first loading of a ball mill. Further mill loading has provided once a week. The quantity of loaded grinding media has calculated after instrumental […]

The Hardness Tester verification interval is 1 year. How to check its testimony accuracy and be sure at measurement accuracy? There are special hardness measures – rectangular steel plates with specific reference hardness. The hardness measures set consist of five elements: 25 HRC ± 5 HRC ; 45 HRC ± 5 HRC ; 65 HRC ± 5 HRC ; 83 HRА ± 3 HRА ; 90 HRВ ± 10 HRВ. The hardness tester verification procedure compiled depending on the device operation and the number of measurements made. The verification principle consists of three measurements at each of the reference hardness measures. The first two measurements are not taken into account (they are preliminary and serve to press the indenter to the hardness measure surface), and the third measurement considered a true indication of the device. The hardness tester operates very intensively in our production: up to 500 hardness measurements perform per shift in the testing laboratory. Verification of the hardness measurements readings must be performed before the start of each shift, in such conditions. Only in this way can we be sure at 100% quality of our products – the steel grinding balls!

Back in 1990, the first version of the GOST 2590-71 standard was reissued into the identical Interstate standard – GOST 2590-88 “Hot-rolled round steel. Assortment » The UkrNIIMet Research Institute of the UKRAINIAN RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY CENTER OF METALLURGY INDUSTRY «ENERGOSTAL» revised this standard in 2006. Thus, the new version of GOST 2590-2006 “Hot-rolled round steel. Assortment.” has released. GOST 2590-2006 was transformed into DSTU 4738: 2007 “Hot-rolled steel sections. Assortment.” by Decree No. 40 of February 26, 2007, on the approval of national standards of Ukraine. The standard GOST 2590-2006 / DSTU 4738: 2007 regulates the uniform requirements for the 5 mm to 270 mm hot-rolled steel rolled products with a circular cross-section in all areas of industry. The regulatory document gives the classification, basic parameters and dimensions of the rolled steel hot-rolled round. According to GOST 2590-2006 / DSTU 4738: 2007, rolled products are classified to rolling accuracy, length and curvature, the requirements for rental ovality and deviations to the length. The rods nominal diameters and tolerances to them, the cross-sectional area and the weight of one meter the round billet also indicated in GOST 2590-2006 / DSTU 4738: 2007. GOST 2590-2006 / DSTU 4738: 2007 is one […]

Albert Einstein once said: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” Can these words be applied to the company’s life? Absolutely! Every organization needs to develop continuously in order to keep a “balance” on the market. One of the main factors of the company’s continuous development is the markets expansion. The expansion of sales geography is the main indicator of growth and development of “Energosteel”. Mastering new horizons, we are showing business activity, a high level of management and European product quality. The decision to expand sales markets is preceded by a marketing research of a potential market in which the company plans to enter. Thus, we analyzed the potential North America grinding media market. The North American market is the most desirable for any entrepreneur and manufacturer, and the steel grinding balls market is no exception. The volume of the North American grinding media market, including cylpebs, is more than 700 thousand tons per year (14% of the world market). Steel grinding balls account for 550 thousand tons of them (approximately 80% of the North American grinding media market). The demand for grinding media is increasing every year, because in this continent […]

Reducing the cost of consumables is very important for all mining operations and the finished products production. Cost reduction should not lead to decreased quality of the produced product. Material grinding is one of the most important processes affect the total amount of costs in the minerals extraction and any product production. In some industries, grinding costs account for more than 10% of the company’s total operating costs (OPEX). In most cases, steel grinding balls used as grinding media in grinding material. The selection the most efficient grinding media is considered a key step in reducing the grinding process cost. Grinding processes are energy-intensive and inefficient in most cases. Some studies in this area show that 1% of global energy consumption is spent on grinding material. Therefore, it is very important to maximize the efficiency of the grinding process. All costs for grinding can be divided into four main groups: electricity costs; the cost for grinding media purchase ; the cost for acquiring the lining to the mill’ inner drum; labor and other expenses. For your attention is the above diagram clearly demonstrates each cost group consumed in the grinding process. In some industries, the cost for grinding media purchase […]

One of the competitive advantages of ENERGOSTEEL Сompany is constantly consulting with specialized research institutes in our business activities. The topics of consultation are quite diverse: starting from the issues of the grinding media use in the grinding process to the introduction of new technologies in the grinding ball production. In 2019, we conducted a joint work with one of the Kyiv Institutes under the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. This institute specializes in technical thermal physics. The purpose of the work is a comprehensive analysis of the hardening cooling process in the steel grinding balls production: the grinding balls initial temperature, the cooling medium composition, the water temperature and its mixing intensity, the method of controlling the cooling time and determining the quenching end in water emulsion and switching to self-tempering mode. Upon the work done completion, there were been selected several variants the cooling media, which should improve the grinding balls hardenability, produced by experimental steel grades. The check laboratory research results in industrial production conditions scheduled in the near future. Follow our publications.

We have repeatedly noted the fact that the company Energosteel constantly conducts comprehensive measures to improve the quality characteristics of the products produced. In this regard, we constantly offer our customers the industrial testing based on their production. As a rule, these are industrial tests that are carried out in ball mills on the production base of our partners. Thus, we are conducting four full-scale experiments currently. In the near future two more tests will start, supplies of grinding media for which have already been carried out. We would like to note that we are constantly in contact with the technical specialists of our partners in order to get feedback on the quality of our products. During the experiments, in addition to telephone contact, our specialists visit the client, jointly conduct a visual inspection of the grinding media state, carry out instrumental measurements to determine the specific consumption of the tested balls. Over the past five months of 2019, we are faced with a situation where the grinding balls in the mill (when stopped) aren’t set right in terms of the grinding process effectiveness. Let’s look at this question in more detail. Thus, to obtain high-quality grinding, the ball in […]
