An Australian gold mine undertook a marked ball wear test in July 2024 that proved the effectiveness of Molycop’s 90mm 15%Cr cast high chrome ball.
- Molycop’s cast high chrome product provided a 3.2% lower wear rate than the equivalent grade from an alternative cast high chrome ball supplier.
- Molycop identified more cost-effective options using their cast high chrome products.
- Molycop grinding media is available globally.
The most cost-effective ball was Molycop’s 90mm 15%Cr cast high chrome ball, improving on the incumbent product by 16%.
The test was completed in early September 2024, following a total of 1,224 mill operating hours.
