Ore Processing
Wear is the single biggest cause of downtime and lost production in mining and
mineral processing. Alloy Steel International have developed a full range of
metallurgical alloy products that are able to significantly lower downtime
and lost production. The Alloy Steel International range of products have proven
to be the most technically advanced fused alloy wear material worldwide. |
Alloy Steel International have developed
the worlds best wear solutions for iron-ore mining,
iron-ore processing and steel production.

for an ore processing plant.
Arcoplate's world patented
manufacturing process guarantees hardness, microstructure
and surface finish of a far superior quality
than any welded wear plate of similar composition.
Field trials in the iron ore processing industry
show that in some cases Arcoplate
will out perform welded wear plate of a similar metallurgical
composition in terms of wear life up by up to 8 times.
If you are involved in the iron ore mining and processing
industry, and are concerned about lost production
and downtime, then Alloy Steel International is happy to discuss wear solutions
with you. |

Alloy Steel International unconditionally
guarantees that their products will outperform conventional
welded type wear products to reduce your production costs
and increase your plant availability.
Alloy Steel International is used successfully and
extensively in installations including apron feeders,
pan feeders, crusher liners, conveyer skirt liners,
transfer chutes, cyclones, reclaimer buckets, train
load out chutes, dozer blades, truck bed, bucket, and
loader liners.

Sliding
Wear Abrasion
Ore processing equipment that is subject to continuous
sliding abrasion and requires a product that will have
the ability to withstand fine particle abrasion and gouging.
QT steels are generally being used due to the low initial
cost.
However, those initial low cost savings with QT
steels and weld type overlays are soon eroded through
the high cost of down time and productivity losses.
Some 60 % of the earth's crust is made up of Silca
(quartz) which has a nominal hardness of 8000 Hv
compared to QT carbon steel with a nominal hardness
ranging from 300-500 Hv. These materials are no match
for the most common of substances like quartz on
earth.

Only Arcoplate can offer a structure
packed tightly with Cr7C3 chromium carbides with a typical nominal
hardness of 1600 Hv. The Arcoplate patented method of thermal cladding
produces on average 70 % of the total volume of alloy overlay as Cr7C3
carbide.
Hundreds of field applications clearly demonstrate that Arcoplate
is by far the most cost effective wear solution available
for the production and plant maintenance engineer. Using Arcoplate
in the
following items will not only significantly reduce
weight but will also greatly reduce down time. It will significantly
widen the gap
between production costs and commodity prices which
are dictated by market forces. |

Arcoplate has demonstrated over and over that 1 mm of Arcoplate thermal
bonded high chromium super alloy will generally out perform conventional
weld overlay by 6 times and QT steels by 30 times. |
