Q: How to select materials for slurry pump flow-wear parts?

Selection principles for slurry pump wear parts: 1) Low concentration, fine particles: choose high chromium cast iron Cr26/Cr28; 2) High concentration, coarse particles: choose ceramic composite material; 3) Strongly corrosive media: choose rubber or polyurethane; 4) High temperature media: choose heat-resistant alloy steel. Factors such as flow velocity, particle hardness, and pH value should also be considered, and wear tests may be conducted for verification when necessary.

Q: How to select the mesh size of vibrating screen?

Selection basis for screen mesh size: 1) According to product particle size requirements, the sieve opening should be slightly larger than the target particle size; 2) Consider material moisture content; wet materials require appropriately larger sieve openings; 3) Consider processing capacity; higher mesh count results in lower throughput; 4) Consider wear resistance; fine mesh screens wear out faster, and polyurethane material can be chosen to extend service life. Common ranges: coarse screen 4-10 mesh, medium screen 10-40 mesh, fine screen 40-200 mesh.

Q: What is the replacement cycle for ball mill liners?

The replacement cycle of liners depends on multiple factors: 1) Material: high manganese steel liners typically last 3-6 months, rubber liners 6-12 months, ceramic composite liners 12-24 months; 2) Operating conditions: high ore hardness and large processing volume shorten the cycle; 3) Maintenance: regularly check thickness; replace when remaining thickness is less than 50% of original thickness; 4) Economy: comprehensively consider replacement costs and downtime losses to formulate an optimal replacement plan.

Question 1

What is the principle of water toughening treatment for high manganese steel?

Accepted Answer

Water toughening treatment involves heating high manganese steel to 1050-1100°C, holding it to fully dissolve carbides into austenite, then rapidly quenching in water to obtain a single austenite structure. This structure undergoes work hardening under impact or pressure, increasing surface hardness from HB200 to over HB500, exhibiting a 'harder with wear' characteristic.

Question 2

What are the advantages and disadvantages of rubber linings and metal liners?

Accepted Answer

Rubber linings: Advantages include light weight (1/5 of steel liners), low noise, corrosion resistance, and easy installation; disadvantages include poor temperature resistance (<80°C) and susceptibility to sharp object scratches. Metal liners: Advantages include high strength, good temperature resistance, and wide applicability; disadvantages include heavy weight, high noise, and susceptibility to corrosion. Selection should consider working conditions comprehensively.
