1. Basic Overview and Classification of Crusher Jaw Plates
Crusher jaw plates are the core wear-resistant parts of jaw crushers, directly contacting the material and achieving crushing through compression. They are divided into movable jaw plates and fixed jaw plates (stationary jaw plates), functioning similarly to an animal's "upper and lower jaws." Through the periodic swinging of the movable jaw plate cooperating with the fixed jaw plate, compressive and grinding forces are applied to the material to complete the crushing process. Depending on the jaw crusher model, jaw plates come in various sizes and specifications. For example, a 500×750 model crusher fits specific jaw plate sizes, which must precisely match the equipment model to ensure crushing efficiency.
2. Structure, Function, and Working Principle of Crusher Jaw Plates
1. Core Structural Components
Movable Jaw Plate: Driven by an eccentric shaft to perform periodic swinging; it is the active crushing component, and its motion trajectory directly affects crushing efficiency;
Fixed Jaw Plate: Fixed to the crusher frame, forming the crushing chamber with the movable jaw plate and bearing the reactive force from the material;
Side Liners: Installed on both sides of the crushing chamber, mostly made of cast steel, serving as auxiliary wear-resistant parts and classified as chipping-type abrasive wear components.
2. Working Principle
The motor drives the eccentric shaft to rotate via a belt pulley, causing the movable jaw plate to perform an up-and-down reciprocating motion:
Rising Stage: The angle between the toggle plate and movable jaw increases, pushing the movable jaw plate closer to the fixed jaw plate, compressing the material to achieve crushing.
Falling Stage: The angle decreases, and the movable jaw plate resets under the action of the pull rod spring, allowing crushed material to discharge from the outlet.
During this process, the lower part of the jaw plate, which contacts the material more frequently, usually wears faster than the upper part.

2. Casting Process
Water glass sand mold casting: Ensures clear contours (dimensional tolerance CT10)
Riser optimization: Computer simulation of solidification process to reduce shrinkage cavities (X-ray inspection meets ASTM E186 standards)
3. Surface Hardening
Explosion hardening: Pre-harden surface layer to HB 380-400, extending initial service life by 30%
Overlay welding repair: After wear, local repair can be done using high-chromium alloy welding rods (D667)
4. Application Scenarios and Life Reference
Jaw plates are widely used in mining, metallurgy, building materials, construction waste processing, and other fields. They can crush brittle materials such as ores, rocks, and concrete blocks with compressive strength not exceeding 320 MPa. They are key components for achieving "primary crushing" in jaw crushers.

Life Extension Solutions:
Pre-screening to remove metal impurities; adjust the discharge port to be ≥1.3 times the feed particle size (to reduce overload impact).
Design optimization: Ensure the crushing chamber angle between the moving jaw and fixed jaw is reasonable to reduce impact load on the jaw plates.
Bidirectional use: When the lower part of the jaw plate is severely worn, it can be reversed and installed upside down to utilize the less worn upper part for continued operation.
Regular maintenance: Timely cleaning of residual material in the crushing chamber, checking if fastening bolts are loose to prevent increased wear of the jaw plates due to vibration.
5. Maintenance and Inspection
Daily inspection: Measure tooth height wear weekly (replace if wear exceeds 15% of original height).
Bolt preload force inspection (torque value ≥ 980 N·m).
Failure analysis: Metallographic inspection to check for grain boundary carbides caused by insufficient cooling.
Hardness gradient test: Verify the depth of the work-hardened layer (should be ≥30mm).
