What is Crusher Jaw Plate?
Crusher Jaw Plate is a replaceable, wear part of jaw crusher.
It can be classified into movable jaw plate and stationary jaw plate according to installation position.
The stationary jaw plate and movable jaw plate form a V-shape space to compress, shear and crush materials like rock, ore, and concrete.
Material of Crusher Jaw Plate
Common materials for crusher jaw plates include high manganese steel and high chrome cast iron.

Which Material of Jaw Plate is the Most Wear Resistant?
High chromium cast iron jaw plate is the most wear resistant. It has over 650HBW hardness, is the first choice for fine jaw crushers that deal with hard and high abrasive materials, such as granite, basalt.
While because of the low toughness of high Cr cast iron, it can't be used for high impact conditions.
Here are best applications for different material jaw plates:

Is High Chromium Cat Iron Jaw Plate Easy to Break?
High chromium cast iron jaw plates are indeed easy to break if they are used with wrong applications, such as high impact or with hard impurities.
To get jaw plates with both high wear resistance and toughness, we can inlay high chromium jaw plate to high manganese jaw plate to get a composite jaw plate, which has longer service life than both two types.
How to Improve Working Life of Crusher Jaw Plate?
Structure design:
For small crushers, a symmetrical structure design (upper and lower direction) jaw plate allows turn-over use when the bottom of jaw plate is worn severely, to maximize its working time;
For large crushers, it will be better to design jaw plates with a symmetrical multiple-piece structure, to easy adjustment and replacement.
Material selection:
Choose correct material grade according to application.
Choose reliable jaw plate manufacturer Shata Machinery, who produces customized jaw plates with strict quality control from raw material purchasing and providing material test certifications.
Production:
Use professional jaw plate suppliers Shata Machinery, to precisely control the production parameters using advanced equipment, such as casting temperature, pouring speed, heat treatment temperatures, etc.
Installation:
Jaw plates should be firmly fixed on movable jaw and fixed jaw, and must ensure they are parallel.
Regular Maintenance:
Tighten jaw plate if any looseness if found.
How Often Should the Crusher Jaw Plate be Replaced?
It depends on the material hardness, daily working time, and material of jaw plate.
Below is a detailed reference:
