The Material Technology of Hammer Crusher Hammers Has Become A Core Competitive Advantage.

The iterative upgrade of hammer material has become a core trend in the industry's development, driving continuous breakthroughs in product performance. Although traditional high-manganese steel hammers have lower costs, their wear resistance and service life are limited. They still dominate the market, with a market size of approximately 9 billion yuan in 2024, accounting for 60%. Meanwhile, the application range of new wear-resistant materials such as high-chromium cast iron and composite materials is gradually expanding. Among them, high-chromium cast iron hammers have shown particularly outstanding performance, with a market share exceeding 45% in 2024, an increase of nearly 12 percentage points compared with 2020, and a market size of about 4.5 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 12%.In the field of high-end technology, some companies in the industry have started exploring the application of nanocomposites, laser cladding technology, and special alloy materials. The wear resistance of some new hammer products has increased by more than 30% compared with traditional products, and service life has increased from about 800 hours in 2020 to 1,200 hours in 2023, effectively reducing the frequency of replacements and operating costs for users. In addition, research on special hammers for high-temperature and highly corrosive working conditions has made progress, further expanding the application boundaries of the products.The optimization and upgrading of manufacturing processes are progressing simultaneously. The application of technologies such as vacuum casting, directional solidification, and out-of-furnace refining has effectively improved the densification of the product matrix and reduced casting defects, providing process support for performance improvement. Controlling raw material costs has become a common focus in the industry. In 2024, the annual average price of high-manganese steel is 12,500 yuan per ton, an increase of about 4.2% year-on-year, while raw material costs account for 60%-70% of manufacturing costs. Some companies have alleviated cost pressures by optimizing production processes and improving material utilization.
