Grinding Media

Grinding media is a kind of carrier used in ball millcement mill, mineral mill and other equipment to help grind materials. Commonly used grinding media are steel grinding balls, grinding cylpebs, and steel grinding rods. The materials for making such grinding media are mostly cast iron alloys, alloy round steels, etc. that have been specially processed.
