The invention relates to crushing bodies forged from steel having a high carbon content and a finely divided martensitic structure throughout, comprising a carbide content of 2 to 6% by weight, in the form of mixed iron and chromium carbides of the (Fe, Cr).sub.3 C type. The process for manufacturing these crushing bodies consists in bringing up to a temperature of the order of 900.degree. to 1100.degree. C. a bar or billets of cast or moulded steel and having the desired composition, said bar is possibly cut into billets at said temperature, and said billets are forged at said temperature of 900.degree. to 1100.degree. C. These crushing bodies allow the crushing of very abrasive materials, for a limited cost.
Finished industrial products comprising crushing bodies, for crushing abrasive materials, forged from steel having a high carbon content and a finely divided martensitic structure throughout, said forged steel being non-graphitic and said bodies having no graphitic carbon content therein, and said bodies comprising 1.7 to 2% carbon and 0 to 2% chromium, in percentage by weight;
