Socket Liner
Identify parts for Metso cone crushers, check models and drawing, confirm materials and processes, and submit an inquiry.
Equipment and Applicable Models
Identify the installed machine model and key dimensions, then check the drawing revision and physical interfaces.
Models and Key Dimensions
Metso HP Series (HP100-HP800), GP Series (GP100-GP550) and MP Series
Materials and Processes
Select the material grade and heat treatment for the operating conditions, processed material and equipment specifications. The options below are commonly used; confirm the final grade against the drawing and technical agreement.
C95400 aluminum bronze (ASTM B148)
Aluminum bronze sand casting; verify composition, as-cast or heat-treated condition and mechanical properties against ASTM B148 and the drawing.
Aluminum bronze C95500
Nickel-aluminum bronze; mechanical properties depend on the casting process and heat treatment condition. Verify compliance with the applicable material standard and socket liner drawing.
C93200 leaded tin bronze (SAE 660)
Candidate copper alloy for bearings; maintain the lubrication required by the equipment. The material is not self-lubricating.
Wear Characteristics and Replacement
Common wear modes and maintenance advice. The actual replacement interval depends on duty, material and operating data.
Common wear modes
- Head gyration causes uneven spherical surface wear, with faster wear in the direction of movement
- Axial crushing forces cause contact fatigue in the central area of the spherical surface
- Inadequate lubrication causes spherical surface scuffing and seizure
- Contaminated lubricant causes scoring of the spherical surface
Replacement criteria
Assess spherical surface wear, clearance and contact condition against the equipment maintenance manual. If head movement becomes abnormal or copper debris in the oil remains elevated, inspect the socket liner, mating spherical surface and lubrication system. Use the model-specific drawing for replacement limits and installation acceptance criteria.
Material and Process Control
Materials, heat treatment, composite processes and inspection follow the specific drawing, duty and technical review.
Material Grade / Substrate
Aluminum bronze C95400 (ASTM B148), aluminum bronze C95500 and leaded tin bronze C93200 (SAE 660)
Heat Treatment Condition
Select the heat treatment condition for the specific copper alloy grade and part drawing; verify final hardness and microstructure against the technical agreement.
Composite / Hardfacing Requirements
Bronze bushings are not suitable for weld overlay repair. Replace the worn bushing as a complete part; surface repair is not recommended.
Dimensions and Inspection
Verify critical dimensions against the drawing for the OEM model details, including fits, sealing surfaces and oil groove locations. Select nondestructive testing methods for the material, part geometry and technical agreement; MT applies only to suitably magnetizable ferromagnetic materials. Check copper alloy bushing hardness and uniformity as specified in the drawing.
Parts with the same name may not be interchangeable across models, drawing revisions, interfaces and materials. Confirm the full model, serial number and drawings before manufacture.
