Model SA6000 -Microstructure Complex Carbide Overlay Plate
SA6000® is the new future of overlay wear plate. The patented microstructure of SA6000 is highly refined with tightly packed complex carbides. This fine grain microstructure reduces the propagation of cracks, which results in not only superior protection from abrasion, but also unheard of impact resistance! The patented microstructure of SA6000 is highly refined with tightly packed complex carbides. This fine grain microstructure reduces the propagation of cracks, which results in superior impact resistance.
Example Weight Reduction:
SA6000 provides a 4X improvement in wear life. As a result, 4 mm of SA6000 can replace 12 mm of standard chromium carbide overlay plate. This results in a 59% reduction in weight.
This increase in wear life allows for:
Increased Production
Reduced Downtime
Reduction in Labor Costs
Reduction in weight while maintaining wear life
SA6000 was put up against a standard chromium carbide overlay plate within an ore processing chute.
The 8mm on 10mm SA6000 lasted 2,795 hours and processed 7.09 million tons of ore.
The 17mm on 10mm standard chromium carbide overlay plate lasted an average of 949 hours and processed 2.48 million tons of ore.
This test proved out a 6X wear life increase!
