The reasons for the high consumption and cost of grinding balls in ball mills of mining industry.

1) The ore is hard, so the grinding balls wear out quickly. The harder the ore, the more severe the wear of the grinding balls, and the higher the consumption.

2) The quality of the grinding ball is poor, and they are not wear-resistant. Grinding balls with poor material and low hardness are easily ground into powder.

3) The grinding concentration is high, and the impact on the grinding balls is great. If the concentration is too high, the collision between the grinding balls intensifies, and the wear accelerates.

4) The rotation speed of the grinding mill is not appropriate, and the loss of grinding balls is large. If the speed is too high, the impact force of the grinding ball is too great; if it is too low, the grinding efficiency is low, all of which will increase the consumption.

5) The proportion of grinding balls is inappropriate. An unreasonable combination of grinding ball sizes affects the grinding efficiency and increases the consumption.
