What is a steel ball skew rolling mill machine

1. Working Principle

This machine adopts skew rolling technology to roll steel bars through two pairs of symmetrically arranged skew rolling molds. During the rolling process, the combination of the rotary motion of the molds and the feeding of the steel rods causes the rods to undergo plastic deformation in the molds, gradually forming steel balls with high precision spherical shape.

2. Main features

  • High efficiency: A large number of steel balls can be produced per minute, which is significantly more productive than traditional casting and forging processes.
  • Low cost: High degree of automation, low labor cost and energy consumption; at the same time, high utilization of raw materials, reducing waste.
  • High quality: Steel balls have no air holes, no sand holes, dense organization and uniform hardness. Able to maintain good wear resistance and impact resistance under high load conditions.
  • Strong applicability: Capable of processing steel balls of different sizes (usually from 20mm to 150mm in diameter) and materials, suitable for a wide range of industrial needs.

3. Process Flow of steel ball making machine

  • Raw material preparation: Steel bars are cut to specified lengths.
  • Heating: The steel rods are heated in a heating furnace to a suitable rolling temperature (about 1050-1200°C).
  • Oblique rolling and forming: The heated steel rods are passed through rolling molds to form round steel balls.
  • Cooling treatment: The steel balls are cooled by a cooling system to obtain the required hardness and properties.
  • Quality Inspection: The steel balls are ensured to meet the standards through hardness testing and dimensional inspection.
