The quest for sustainability in feed production industries and crushing machines in agricultural sectors that are more efficient have introduced the use of proper material for hammer material. Around the world, the manufacture of feed from animal waste is expanding quickly, and crushing equipment is now essential to enabling reliability. The issue of early failure of the crushing machine’s main components, however, is a challenge for the feed industries and has a direct impact on the machine’s maintenance, dependability, and running costs. A significant number of technical components have been created during the past decade for industrial applications employing novel materials and cutting-edge technologies through the development of carburisation. As a result, this review offers a concise summary of the most recent analysis of tribological issues related to crushing hammers made of low and medium-carbon steels. Recent studies on innovative crushing material design, improvement in hammer surface engineering, use of case-hardened hammers with a focus on material selection, crushing machine design optimisation, and failure mode analysis are included in the study. Additionally, it will intricate on the heat treatment technology’s present constraints and its future opportunities.
Key words: Material selection / Crushing / Production / Efficiency / Sustainability / Advancement
