As an industry that places a great deal of physical demands on the equipment it uses, the mining and quarrying industries require more steel and steel plate than other industries might need. Impact and wear resistance are especially important qualities of steel wear plate used in mining today. Industrial-grade wear parts provide the long life mining companies need to see them through their peak production season. In fact, with a superior steel wear plate as part of their operations, miners can enjoy peace of mind knowing they won’t experience costly losses due to excessive downtime.
Fortunately for them, wear and impact resistant steel is strong and reliable for even the most demanding mining jobs. It can solve steel wear problems in a large number of applications in both underground and surface mining. Whether the task is material handling, shoveling, hauling, crushing or sizing, miners can trust steel wear plate to protect their equipment and get the job done right.
In an industry like mining that involves a lot of wear and tear on equipment, only top quality steel and reliable service from a steel wear plate supplier will suffice. In fact, these advantages are one of the only ways to stay in business and stay competitive in the modern mining market. Abrasion, impact and wear resistant steel takes worry about the bottom line out of the equation.
These types of steel wear products virtually eliminate lost production time due to wear parts that hinder mining performance during peak production seasons. They also reduce maintenance cycles and keep miners’ production flowing. At the same time, the quality steel plate reduces expenses by reducing the need for frequent maintenance and service of various mining parts. And because fewer human resources need to be devoted to such maintenance tasks, even more money is saved.
Steel wear plate with unmatched impact and abrasion resistance properties can be used in a wide range of mining and quarrying applications. Everything from bin liners, hopper liners, crusher main frame liners, cutting edges, dozer blades and drag bucket liners to drag line pins on linkage and buckets, grizzly bars, body liner kits Haul truck liners, bin liners, links, long wall miner body liners, loader bucket liners, primary, secondary and tertiary crusher liners, ripper bars, shovels and rotary crusher grates can all benefit from manufacturing with high quality abrasion resistant steel plate.
And the types of steel to choose from are as eclectic as the applications they serve, depending on the toughness required. Chromium Carbide Clad (often referred to as Clif Clad) has a hard metallurgical bond to the base plate that will not separate. It is one of the toughest plates on the market today. Tensamang 11-14% Genuine Hadfield Grade Manganese is a special work hardening grade steel designed to become increasingly harder on impact, making it ideal for high impact applications. Other reliable steel plate options include Tensalloy AR400 and AR450, as well as Tensalloy Blue AR500 steel for long-lasting wear and impact resistance desperately needed in today’s mining and quarrying applications.
