HPGR tungsten carbide studs

HPGR Studs

Cemented Carbide Wear Parts for HPGR Roller Surfaces

Studs are fitted into HPGR or roller press surfaces and withstand abrasion and local impact in the high-pressure material bed. Correct supply requires checks of the stud, mounting hole, roller substrate, layout and installed machine model.

Main Products Tungsten Carbide Studs / Roller Studs
Installation Position HPGR Working Roll Surface
Main Loads High-pressure material bed, abrasion, local impact and cyclic compression
Identification requirements OEM, full model, roll identification, drawing number and measurements in service
HPGR Tungsten Carbide Studs
HPGR roller surface studs; head, shank, transition radii and mounting dimensions are specified by the installed machine drawings
Part scope

Individual studs, roller substrates and complete roller surfaces have different supply requirements

This page covers individual studs. Drilled roller sleeves, tyres, roller substrates, studded roller assemblies, roll shafts and bearing systems are separate products and must be identified separately in an inquiry.

The stud-to-roller fit determines resistance to pull-out. Stud protrusion and layout influence formation of the autogenous protective layer. A stud photograph alone cannot establish interchangeability.

Stud Geometry Head, shank diameter, length, radii, end face and material
Mounting Interface Hole diameter and depth, interference or retention method, and substrate condition
Stud Layout Rows, spacing, density, edge arrangement and protrusion
Condition in Service Wear, chipping, pull-out, looseness and surrounding substrate wear

HPGR Studs and Roller Studs

HPGR Roll Studs

Check individual geometry, sintered carbide material, roller mounting holes, stud positions, failure condition and known drawing numbers.

Studded Roller Surface Assembly

A related assembly with a separate supply scope. Provide roller diameter and width, roll identification, surface design, hole pattern and assembly drawings.

Edge and Centre Positions

Wear, pressure and stud layout can vary across the roller surface. Confirm each position against original drawings or measurements in service before specifying a common size.

Materials and Properties

Studs made from sintered tungsten carbide

Tungsten carbide studded roller surfaces require a hard phase, binder, microstructure and strength suited to the actual operating conditions.

WC-Co Cemented Carbide The tungsten carbide hard phase provides wear resistance, while the metallic binder provides toughness. Select the grade together with impact conditions, particle size, moisture and roller fit.
Steel Roller Substrate The roller sleeve or substrate supports the studs and retains their mounting holes. Assess the substrate material, hole wall condition and fitting process together with the studs.
Autogenous Protective Layer Material can accumulate between protruding studs to form a protective layer that reduces direct wear of the roller substrate. Its formation depends on both feed properties and roller geometry.
Different from Steel Fasteners HPGR working studs are not weld studs, threaded studs, dowel pins or hopper fasteners; ordinary steel fastener grades do not apply.
Locations and Failure Modes

Use roller condition to prioritise replacement and inspection

Use the following categories to document site conditions. Dimensions and repair decisions depend on machine records, measurements and the agreed technical specification.

Location / SymptomPriority checksPossible Effects
High-Load Centre ZoneRemaining stud height, fractures, missing studs, layout and material distributionProtective layer stability, roller wear and pressure distribution
Edge ZoneEdge arrangement, uneven wear, feed distribution and lateral confinementLocal wear, edge effects and uneven loading
Stud Pull-Out or LooseningMounting holes, fit, substrate cracks, retention process and tramp material impactsEnlarged holes, increased loading on adjacent studs and roller surface damage
Stud Chipping or FractureMicrostructure, defects, transition radii, tramp metal and transient impactReduced effective height, fragments in the material bed and spreading local damage
Recessed Surrounding SubstrateProtective layer, differences in stud height, material properties and roller repair historyReduced retention and changes in roller profile
Inquiries and Quality Control

Information Required before Stud Supply

Provide the OEM drawing number, third-party reference or customer drawing number, with its revision, to identify the required stud.

Equipment identification

OEM, full model, serial number, roll or sleeve identification, and left or right roll position.

Drawings and References

Stud and roller assembly drawing numbers, customer part number, revision and modification history.

Key dimensions

Overall length, section diameters, head, radii, mounting hole, protrusion and positional tolerances.

Material Data

Current grade, density, hardness, microstructure, transverse rupture strength or other agreed properties.

Roller Surface Condition

Wear scans, missing stud distribution, substrate recesses, hole wall damage and repair history.

Operating conditions

Ore, particle size, moisture, abrasiveness, tramp material, pressure, speed and service life.

Lining selection: Metso HRC literature describes studded tungsten carbide roller surfaces. KHD Roller Press literature describes sintered tungsten carbide studs fitted into the roller surface, with ground material forming an autogenous protective layer between them. Installed dimensions and supply scope follow the drawings and agreed technical specification. Metso HRC HPGR · KHD Roller Press
