Grinding media is one of a mine’s largest expenses. Poor product hits your budget and slows production. Silver Lake Analytical Services, LLC, helps you manage grinding media quality with affordable, unbiased metallurgical assessment. A small investment in research means you get the product you’re paying for and the results you expect.


INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS

ASTM specifications required for most steel products do not apply to grinding media; there are no standards. Can you trust your supplier for unbiased assessment of a product with no standards?

Our proven method analyzes wear resistance in grinding media beyond just Rockwell hardness. We investigate ball composition and manufacturing methods to assess the final microstructure that establishes structural integrity, toughness and wear resistance in grinding mills. Our procedures conform to ASTM and N.I.S.T. standards.
