AbrasaPlate® Crack Free is a general purpose chrome-carbide overlay plate suitable for application in various positions, offering high impact and abrasion resistance. This high-quality compound weld-overlay hardfaced plate applies its chrome carbide overlay in a unique fashion, resulting in a hard, wear-resistant cladding despite being crack free. The extremely smooth surface finish reduces hang-up from sticky ores, and ASTM G65 wear resistance test results exceed those of AP-3000 AbrasaPlate®.
What makes AbrasaPlate® Crack Free different from standard AbrasaPlate®?
AbrasaPlate® Crack Free uses a unique compound weld-overlay process that produces a hard, wear-resistant chrome carbide cladding while remaining crack free, with an extremely smooth surface finish that reduces hang-up from sticky ores.
How does AbrasaPlate®-CF's wear resistance compare to AP-3000 AbrasaPlate®?
ASTM G65 wear resistance test results for AbrasaPlate®-CF exceed those of AP-3000 AbrasaPlate®.
What applications is AbrasaPlate®-CF best suited to?
AbrasaPlate®-CF suits applications requiring a combination of high wear resistance with a smooth surface finish, such as ash lines, chutes and ducts, and hoppers.
Can AbrasaPlate®-CF be welded on-site?
Yes — it can be welded onto mild steel using standard low hydrogen consumables. For welding the hardfacing side to structural steels, AI-1707 stainless wire or AI-207 electrodes are recommended.
Can AbrasaPlate®-CF be formed or cut to shape?
Yes — it can be rolled or pressed (achievable diameters depend on plate thickness), and cut using plasma from the back side, water jet, or laser.
