Mining & Cement
Durable Steel Solutions for Mining & Cement
Mining and cement industries face severe wear due to abrasive materials. Our abrasion-resistant steel plates provide the durability you need.
The wear problem
In mining and cement operations, wear mechanisms such as sliding abrasion and impact significantly reduce equipment life. Typically, components like chutes, liners, and hoppers wear out first, leading to costly downtime and maintenance.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chute Liners | K02100 | 10-20 mm | Offers extended life due to enhanced resistance to sliding abrasion. |
| Hopper Liners | K02401 | 15-30 mm | Increases wear life and reduces maintenance frequency with high toughness. |
| Bucket Teeth | K11789 | 18-25 mm | Superior strength and abrasion resistance prevent early failures. |
| Plate Liners | S32205 | 12-28 mm | Exceptional durability against abrasive wear ensures longevity. |
| Wear Resistant Plates | S32750 | 8-20 mm | High hardness provides optimal performance in harsh environments. |
Selecting the right plate
Consider thickness wisely
Select appropriate thickness based on wear conditions and impact loads.
Assess wear type
Identify the primary wear mechanism to optimize material selection.
Evaluate maintenance schedules
Implement proactive maintenance to capitalize on extended material life.
Check compatibility
Ensure selected plates are compatible with existing machinery for efficient performance.
Questions engineers ask
What is abrasion resistant steel?
Abrasion resistant steel is engineered to withstand wear from mechanical impacts and friction. It's essential for high-demand applications in mining and cement.
How do I choose the right grade?
Selecting the right grade depends on the wear mechanisms identified in your application. Consult with material specialists for tailored recommendations.
What thickness do I need for my application?
Thickness should align with the severity of wear and impact in your specific use case. A detailed assessment of operational conditions will help determine the optimal thickness.
What are the lead times for custom parts?
Lead times can vary based on thickness and grade. Standard parts may be available quickly, while custom dimensions might take additional time.
