Abrasion-resistant sheets are high-strength materials used for applications where wear, impact, and friction are likely to occur. Made of strong alloys or special materials, they have high abrasion characteristics, suitable for industrial use.
Features of Abrasion resistant sheets
Abrasion Resistant Sheets are unique products used in areas requiring high levels of durability.
- High Durability: Abrasion resistant sheets have enhanced abrasion resistance, making them suitable for use in areas that require high usage.
- Impact Resistance: Abrasion resistant sheets are durable in terms of mechanical stress, which is useful in increasing their usage in industries that require durability.
- Corrosion Resistance: Most abrasion resistant sheets are coated to prevent corrosion and provide durability for their use in chemical factories or exterior structures.
- Heat Resistance: Abrasion resistant sheets are capable of handling high temperatures and remain stable in thermal conditions and can be used in furnace or industrial processing plants.
- Lightweight Options: Abrasion resistant sheets are thin and they are easy to handle and install, yet they are strong.
- Customisable Thickness and Sizes: These sheets come in different thicknesses and sizes and can be easily customised to fit the needs of a particular industry.
- Cost-Effective: Their wearing nature means that they are not replaced frequently, making abrasion sheets affordable in the long run, particularly in industries that experience high abrasion.
- Ease of Fabrication: Abrasion resistant sheets can be easily machined, welded, and forged in accordance with the industry's needs.
Use of Abrasion Resistant Sheet
Abrasion resistant sheets are used in many industries. Here are the primary applications:
- Mining and Quarrying: Abrasion resistant sheets are used in equipments such as chutes, hoppers, crushers and screens where the surfaces are subjected to abrasive material such as rocks, sand and minerals.
- Material Handling Equipment: Abrasion resistant sheets are used in conveyors, bins, silos and other material transport equipment where frequent abrasive material is transported.
- Construction Industry: These sheets are applied in construction vehicles such as bulldozers, loaders, dump trucks and excavators. They shield elements like blades, buckets, and wear plates from continuous rubbing and striking.
- Cement and Asphalt Plants: Abrasion resistant sheets are used in mixers, chutes and linings where aggregates or cement cause abrasion and shorten equipment life.
- Agriculture: The resistant sheets are employed in agricultural machinery such as plows, tillers, harvesters and other machinery which comes into contact with soil, rocks and plant debris.
- Railroad and Trucking: Abrasion resistant sheets are used to make bodies of trucks, trailers and railcars, which transport abrasive and heavy loads thereby minimising wear and tear.
- Steel and Metal Processing: The abrasive resistant sheets are utilised in furnaces, rolls, and parts to cut, form, and move metals to withstand wear from high-stress operations.
These sheets offer an affordable way of avoiding the constant replacement of useful equipment in industries.
