Abstract
A manufacturing technology has been developed for wear-resistant cast-iron grinding balls without shrinkage defects. In this method, the balls are cast in single-use sand–clay molds. A new approach to designing the casting system is developed. By numerical modeling, the time dependence of solidification is derived. As a trial, grinding balls are produced by the proposed technology.
