Weartech SHS Overlay Wear Plate

Weartech® SHS™ Overlay Wear Plate Outperforms Q&T and Chrome Carbide Overlay Plates Skip cars are used in underground mining for transporting ore in process from one station to the next. During loading and unloading, wear plate inside the cars are exposed to sliding abrasion and impact. In an underground gold mine in Canada, 20 ton capacity skip cars transport ore …

Weartech SHS Hardfacing Provides Better Wear Life

Problem: Sliding Abrasion and Impact At a copper ore surface mine in the southwest United States, vibratory compactors push waste rock into the haulage road to provide a clean level surface for preventing costly tire punctures and other damage to haulpak trucks, loaders, excavators and other mine vehicles. Brinell 500 quench & temper (Q&T) liner plate installed to prolong the …

Weartech SHS Overlay Wear Plate

PROBLEM: SEVERE SLIDING ABRASION At an underground molybdenum mine in Colorado, a small fleet of 90 ton side dump haulpak trucks transport ore  from loading chutes to a primary crusher. When a truck dumps ore at the crusher, the entire load slides over a pair of lower side doors, each lined with a 1/2 in. (13 mm) Brinell 500 wear …

Weartech SHS ID Clad Wear Pipe

Problem: Severe Slurry Abrasion Saskatchewan government regulations require spent sections in uranium mines to be completely encased in concrete. The transport of massive amounts of concrete to spent mine locations underground and process of gradual encasement can go on for many years. Historically, concrete has been transported from surface to underground operations through a vertical delivery system fabricated from L80 …

Weartech SHS Coating and Overlay Wear Plate

Rotary vane feeders in cement plants deliver material in process to the next station. Components inside rotary vane feeders operate in a high temperature environment and wear quickly from exposure to sliding abrasion, fine particle erosion and corrosion. Vane pockets on a rotating drum inside the rotary vane feeder are fabricated from unprotected steel and not sufficiently resistant to sliding …

Weartech SHS Coating on Aluminum Chutes

Problem: Abrasion, Erosion and Ergonomic Risk Four-foot steel extension chutes widely used on ready mix concrete trucks weigh approximately 50 lb. (22.7 kg). Drivers risk injury on the job from lifting the heavy steel chutes, resulting in a risk of profit loss and additional insurance costs for truck owners. Aluminum extension chutes weighing approximately 30 lb. (13.6 kg) are an …

Weartech SHS Thermal Spray Coating on Boiler Tubes

Waste coal is a low energy value discard that has accumulated for more than a century at anthracite and bituminous coal mines in the Northeast USA. Since the early 1990’s, coal-fired power plants near these mines have been configured to burn this inexpensive fuel source in circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustion boilers. For every 100 tons of waste coal burned, …
