Case Study of High Hardness & Low Wear at a Large Copper Mine

Goldpro high-hardness forged balls (surface hardness ≥60 HRC) were tested against locally produced Russian balls in an MQY 3.6 × 4.0 m mill (June–October 2025; 180,200 tonnes processed). Specific consumption fell by 32.6% for 100 mm balls and 39.7% for 60 mm balls, while throughput and power consumption remained stable.
