Pulp & Paper
Abrasion Resistant Steel for Pulp & Paper
In the pulp and paper industry, wear from abrasion and impact can lead to costly downtimes and equipment failure. Our high-grade steel plates are designed to withstand the most severe conditions.
The wear problem
The primary wear mechanisms in this industry include sliding abrasion and impact. Components often fail first at their contact points and edges, leading to catastrophic breakdowns.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chipper Blades | S30400 | 10-20 | Extended life and reduced repair frequency. |
| Pulping Equipment Liners | S31600 | 12-25 | Improved resistance to corrosion and wear. |
| Screening Plates | S32205 | 8-15 | Enhanced durability under high-impact conditions. |
| Conveyor Components | S34700 | 6-30 | Longer service life with minimal replacements. |
| Drum Discharge Chutes | N06625 | 15-40 | Exceptional performance under extreme wear. |
Selecting the right plate
Choose the right grade
Select based on specific wear conditions and temperature requirements.
Consider thickness carefully
Thicker plates provide improved wear resistance but may add weight.
Evaluate service conditions
Understand the operational environment to select the most suited material.

Our specialists can help in identifying the best solution for your application.
Questions engineers ask
What is the best steel grade for high-abrasion environments?
Grades like S31600 and S32205 are ideal for high-abrasion applications due to their enhanced wear resistance and toughness.
How does thickness affect abrasion resistance?
Generally, thicker plates provide better wear resistance; however, the appropriate thickness also depends on the application demands.
Can corrosion impact wear resistance?
Yes, corrosion can exacerbate wear, thus selecting corrosion-resistant grades is crucial for extended equipment life.
What is the lead time for custom plate orders?
Lead times can vary based on specifications, but we strive to deliver customized orders promptly to minimize downtime.
