Dozer Blades Arcoplate ArcoAlloy 800 Lining Push Arms, Blade Face and underside of H Frame. The unit shown to the right has currently exceeded 10, 000 hours working in a coal mine on over burden. This wear plate shows very little wear and is anticipated to exceed over 40, 000 hours.		Click the image to enlarge it.

Buckets Arcoplate ArcoAlloy 800 8mm on mm9 and 6mm on 9mm are used extensively as wear elimination liners on digging buckets to reduce the weight of wear components. They also increase bucket life, reduce material hangup and improve bucket payload.

Arcoplate's ability to polish, reduces the coefficient of friction which reduces the stress on other mechanical components, such as gear boxes, hydraulic pumps, seals and hoses. This is over the conventional high carbon steel wear plates and includes substantially improving bucket down time.
P & H Bucket Alloy Steel International have developed the best solution for P&H buckets with or trialed and tested Arcoplate wear liners. Advantages when using our wear kits include, dramatical wear reduction over QT plate, less material hangup, reduced weight, smooth surface finish, and easy application.

Arcoplate is the single, predominantly brown, large plate at the top left of the bucket and the bulk weld brand consists of the other pieces. Measurements indicate that the bulk weld brand is wearing at a significantly faster rate than the Arcoplate. This photograph shows the difference in the wear rates between a conventionally bulk weld overlay and continuous cast overlay.
The 'Dutchman's Hat' is an area which is always subject to wear. This is due to the weight of the ore plus the volume eroding the heavy QT plate discharging very rapidly at 400 BNH up to 100 mm (4 in). In contrast the Arcoplate ArcoAlloy 800 shows little or no wear and is ready for more punishment.		Click the image to enlarge it.

You will also notice the lack of heavy stress cracking that you might see in conventional weld wear plate. On the right, Arcoplate ArcoAlloy 800 in floor area of a hydraulic shovel. The welded type wear plate on the sides show signs of wear. However, the Arcoplate floor plates are still in the same condition as when they were installed.	Click the image to enlarge it.
Dump Truck Box Lined with Arcoplate ArcoAlloy 800 8/9. Strips 300 mm wide with a 60 mm Gap. The herring bone liner design was chosen because it can be securely welded onto the truck box liners. This allows the truck box to flex without any fear of cracking the plug welds. If the client had chosen the large sheets then plug welding would have been required to anchor the wearplate to the truck body. For examples of failures regarding large sheets and plug welding see Disadvantages of Traditional Wearplate. Below are pictures of various Dump Truck Box Wear Kits. Click any photo to enlarge it.
