Abstract
A bi-metallic swing hammer for a particulate size reduction system includes a shank portion. The shank portion has a first end having a mounting portion for attachment to a wheel assembly of the particulate size reduction system, a second end defining a shank tip, and a face surface extending from the first end to the shank tip. The bi-metallic swing hammer includes a wear pad cast to the face surface of the shank portion. The wear pad extends from the shank tip to the first end of the shank portion up to the mounting portion. A method of constructing a bi-metallic swing hammer for a particulate size reduction system includes casting a wear pad and a shank portion together to bond the wear pad to the shank portion.
