Abstract

A comminuting device ( 10 ) has a wear-resistant element ( 16 ) for partial insertion into a recess ( 26 ) in the surface of a wear area ( 12, 14 ). The wear-resistant element ( 16 ) has a fastening region ( 24 ), which can be connected to the recess ( 26 ) in the surface of the wear area ( 12, 14 ), and a wear region ( 22 ), which protrudes at least partially from the surface of the wear area ( 12, 14 ). The fastening region ( 24 ) is formed from a metal, the wear region ( 22 ) has a shell ( 18 ) and a core ( 20 ) arranged inside the shell ( 18 ). The core ( 20 ) is formed from a metal and the shell ( 18 ) is formed from a ceramic ( 20 ). The material of the shell comprises a ceramic which contains yttrium-stabilized, tetragonal polycrystalline zirconium oxide (TPZ). The TPZ has a proportion of the ceramic by volume of at least 60%, preferably at least 80%, in particular 95% to 100%.

Claims (28)

1. A wear-resistant element configured for partial insertion into a recess in a surface of a wear area of a comminuting device, wherein the wear-resistant element comprises:

a fastening region that is comprised of metal and is configured to be connected to the recess in the surface of the wear area; and

a wear region that protrudes at least partially from the surface of the wear area, with the wear region including a shell and a core disposed inside the shell, wherein the core is comprised of metal and the shell is comprised of a ceramic that contains yttrium-stabilized, tetragonal polycrystalline zirconium oxide (TPZ), wherein the TPZ makes up at least 60% by volume of the ceramic in the shell.

2. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the TPZ makes up at least

80% by volume of the ceramic in the shell.

3. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the TPZ makes up at least 95% by volume of the ceramic in the shell.

4. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the TPZ makes up at least 100% by volume of the ceramic in the shell.

5. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the core extends through an entirety of the wear region.

6. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the core is fixedly connected to the fastening region.

7. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the core is integral with the fastening region such that the core and the fastening region are a one-piece construction.

8. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the shell is sleeve shaped.

9. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the fastening region comprises steel.

10. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the shell is fixedly connected to the fastening region.

11. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the fastening region makes up less than 50% of the wear-resistant element.

12. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the fastening region makes up less than 20% of the wear-resistant element.

13. The wear-resistant element of claim 1 wherein the fastening region makes up less than 15% of the wear-resistant element.

14. A comminuting device comprising:

a grinding roller;

a wear area with a surface that has a recess; and

a wear-resistant element that is attached at least partially in the recess, wherein the wear-resistant element comprises:

a fastening region that is comprised of metal and is configured to be connected to the recess in the surface of the wear area, and

a wear region that protrudes at least partially from the surface of the wear area, with the wear region including a shell and a core disposed inside the shell, wherein the core is comprised of metal and the shell is comprised of a ceramic that contains yttrium-stabilized, tetragonal polycrystalline zirconium oxide (TPZ), wherein the TPZ makes up at least 60% by volume of the ceramic in the shell.

15. The comminuting device of claim 14 wherein the fastening region is bonded substance-to-substance to the grinding roller.

16. The comminuting device of claim 14 wherein the fastening region is welded to the grinding roller.

17. The comminuting device of claim 14 wherein the fastening region is adhesively bonded to the grinding roller.

18. The comminuting device of claim 14 wherein the fastening region is soldered to the grinding roller.

19. The comminuting device of claim 14 wherein the core is integral with the fastening region such that the core and the fastening region are a one-piece construction.

20. The comminuting device of claim 14 wherein the shell is sleeve shaped.
