Iron and Steel Wear Parts
Equipment, Parts and Materials by Production Process

Iron and steel plants combine wear, heat and corrosion resistance, thermal fatigue and product surface quality along one process chain:

Raw materials bring impact, sliding wear and dust erosion from ore, coke, fluxes and return fines. Ironmaking and steelmaking add molten metal, slag, intense radiant heat, high-temperature oxidation and water-cooling cycles. In continuous casting, copper moulds, support rolls, nozzles and bearings affect both equipment life and cast-product quality. In rolling, wear on rolls, guides, pinch rolls, shear blades and laying pipes can cause dimensional, shape and surface defects. Slag and scale handling combines hot lumps, hard oxides and water slurry in a highly abrasive and erosive environment.
