The material most resistant to a hammer crusher is typically one that is extremely hard, tough, and abrasion-resistant. Here are the top candidates:
1. Tungsten Carbide
– One of the hardest man-made materials (Mohs hardness ~9).
– Extremely wear-resistant, making it difficult for hammer crushers to break.
– Used in industrial applications where extreme durability is needed.
2. Diamond (Natural or Synthetic)
– The hardest known natural material (Mohs hardness 10).
– Nearly impossible to crush with conventional hammer crushers.
3. Silicon Carbide (SiC)
– Very hard (Mohs hardness ~9.5) and highly abrasion-resistant.
–
ed in high-wear applications like bulletproof armor and industrial liners.
4. Alumina Ceramics (Al₂O₃)
– High hardness (~9 Mohs) and excellent wear resistance.
– Often used in mining and crushing equipment liners due to its durability.
5. Hardened High-Chromium Steel (e.g., AR400, AR500)
– Not as hard as ceramics or carbides but highly impact-resistant.
– Used in hammer crusher hammers and liners due to its toughness against repeated impacts.
Why These Materials Resist Hammer Crushers?
– High Hardness: Resists indentation and abrasion from hammers.
– Toughness: Absorbs impact energy without fracturing easily.
– Wear Resistance: Minimizes material loss under repeated hammer strikes.
If you’re designing a crusher or selecting materials for crushing applications, these are the most challenging materials to break down with a standard hammer crusher. For extreme cases, specialized crushing methods (like high-pressure grinding rolls or diamond-tipped tools) may be required instead of traditional hammer mills.
