Industrial Solid Waste Treatment |
Mixed metals (such as steel bars and aluminum alloys) need to be compatible with high resistance sharpening blades to reduce frequent replacement |
Sorting of Decoration Waste |
For impurities such as concrete fragments and ceramic tiles, the blade needs to balance hardness and corrosion resistance |
1.Material properties
High resistance running in steel material: The blade should be made of high-strength alloy steel with a carbon content of 0.65-0.95% and a chromium content of 12-14% (such as Cr12MoV, LD, etc.) to balance wear resistance and impact resistance. For high hardness metal materials such as stainless steel and alloy steel, it is recommended to use high-speed steel or special wear-resistant alloy materials to ensure that the blade is not easily broken under high loads.
Heat treatment process requirements: The blade needs to undergo vacuum quenching+cryogenic treatment process to ensure hardness uniformity (HRC55-65) and internal stress release. The surface needs to be treated with nitriding or coating (such as TiN coating) to further enhance its wear resistance.
2.Structural Design
Blade shape and arrangement
Straight blade: suitable for cutting metal sheets, ensuring that the straightness error of the cutting edge is ≤ 0.02mm.
Sawtooth blade: Used for tearing fibrous metal or composite materials, the tooth profile needs to be precisely ground to reduce shear resistance.
Dual axis blade arrangement: Adopting a reverse rotating blade axis design, efficient cutting is achieved through interlocking blades, and the blade clearance needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the material thickness (usually 0.1-0.5mm).
The combination of disc and blade
The cutterhead needs to be forged with high-strength steel as a whole to ensure the stability of blade installation and avoid blade displacement caused by vibration during high-speed operation. Wear resistant gaskets need to be installed between the blade and the disc to prevent metal debris from entering the gap and causing wear.
3.Manufacturing and process standards
Processing accuracy
The roughness of the blade edge should be ≤ Ra0.4 μ m, and the angle tolerance of the blade edge should be controlled within ± 0.5 °.
Blade thickness tolerance ± 0.05mm, flatness error ≤ 0.02mm/100mm.
Welding and assembly process
The blade and handle are welded using laser welding or argon arc welding, and the weld seam needs to be inspected by ultrasonic testing to ensure no cracks or pores.
After installation, the blade needs to undergo a dynamic balance test with a speed deviation of ≤ 2%.
4.Usage and maintenance requirements
Dynamic adjustment and monitoring
Equipped with a CNC gap adjustment system, the blade gap is adjusted in real-time according to the hardness of the material (accuracy ± 0.1mm).
Integrated wear monitoring sensor, automatic alarm when blade thickness wear exceeds 10%.
5.Maintenance optimization:
Regularly check the wear of the blade edge. If the wear is ≥ 0.1mm, it needs to be ground or replaced. Hard alloy blades can be repeatedly ground 3-5 times.
Clean up residual metal debris to avoid impurities accumulating and affecting cutting efficiency. It is recommended to shut down for maintenance every 8 hours.
When working in a humid environment, it is preferable to choose coated blades or apply rust proof oil to prevent rusting.
6.Selection Misconceptions and Suggestions
Material balance: To avoid blindly pursuing high hardness, it is necessary to combine toughness selection (such as Cr12MoV alloy steel) to prevent brittle fracture of the blade.
Design adaptation: Match the blade shape according to the material type (such as metal thickness, impurity content), for example, hook shaped or plate hammer shaped blades are preferred for thick walled steel.
Whole machine collaboration: The performance of the blade needs to be matched with the power system and feeding speed of the crusher to avoid overloading and shortening the blade life.
Summary: High manganese steel or alloy tool steel should be selected for scrap steel crusher blades based on material characteristics, combined with tooth and hook designs to improve efficiency, and equipment stability should be ensured through regular maintenance and scientific selection.
