Ympress is a high strength steel plate with excellent formability and weldability, produced by TMCP (Thermal Mechanical Control Process)

Application

Ympress combines high strength with excellent formability and weldability. It is used in applications such :

• Earth Moving Vehicles
• Large Cranes / Mobile Cranes
• Telescopic Booms

In these applications the high strength of steel is used to save weight and increase the load bearing capacity.

Fabrication

The low carbon equivalent of Ympress makes it readily weldable and permits the use of high welding speeds. There is no need for pre-or post-welding treatment.

Adjacent to the weld a narrow Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) with a slightly decreased hardness is produced, however, with standard welding techniques this has no practical significance.

Tensile tests taken transverse to the weld show the same tensile strength as the parent material.

Stress relieving should be done in temperature ranges of 980° - 1080° F. Heating above this range reduces strength and should be avoided.

3CR12 is a weldable chromium containing utility stainless steel, with a fine grained duplex ferritic-martensitic microstructure.

Application

3CR12 is a particularly recommended for use on moderately aggressive environments found in the construction, industrial, marine, mining and mineral
processing fields. It provides a cost effective solution to corrosion, oxidation and corrosion/abrasion problems in a wide range of environments. Typical examples include:

• Ore Cars
• Pipe & Tube for Slurry Handling
• Coal Chutes and Liners
• Storage Bins and Hoppers
• Locomotive Bodies
• Ash Handling
• Masonry Fixings
• Coal Wash Plant Structure
• Conveyor Decking
• Sand – Chutes Dredging
• Screw Conveyors

Properties

Like other chromium stainless steel, 3CR12 has useful strength at temperature about 600oC. This ele vated temperature strength is significantly higher than that of plain-carbon steels. Hot working can be carried out at 700ºC - 800ºC without significantly affecting subsequent mechanical properties. Above 850ºC, 3CR12 behaves superplastically due to the fine grained duplex microstructure.

Bisclad is a chromium carbide clad mild steel plate offering outstanding wear life for areas subject to sliding abrasion wear.

Application

• Wear plates for draglines
• Shovel
• Hopper
• Skid Plates
• Chutes
• Deflector
• Slurry Pipes
• Dust Pipes

Fabrication

Bisclad can be rolled, bent, weld use low hydrogen 7018 electrode and cut with plasma arc. All cutting should be from the mild steel side, otherwise chromium and carbon will contaminate mild steel base and cause a brittle weld.

Bisclad can be supplied with the following means of attachment:

• Plug weld holes
• Stud welded studs to mild steel
• Countersunk holes

Bisdomite is combination of high chromium white iron, metallurgical bonded to a mild steel backing plate, designed to protect your equipment from impact and high abrasion wear, resulting in reduced equipment downtime, extended wear life and greater cost effectiveness than conventional wear materials.

Application

• Dragline Bucket Protection
• Shovel Bucket Protection
• Excavator Protection
• Conveyor Chute Liners / Transfer Points
• Feeder Deck Plates
• Grizzly Screens
• Cheek Plates

Fabrication

Bisdomite 700 can be welded to mild steel using low hydrogen 7018 electrode and do not weld continuously. Bending is for chocky bars only.

Bisdomite 700 can be supplied with welded studs to mild steels.

Availbility

DURINOX ™ is developed mainly for the agricultural industries where corrosion and abrasion are often the major source of cost and quality problems.

Durinox™ is a registered trademark Bisalloy covering a range of ferritic stainless steel grades.

Durinox™ is developed mainly for the agricultural industries where corrosion and abrasion are often the major source of cost and quality problems. It is also often the case that many of the plants in agricultural industries were originally designed with carbon steels because of its low cost. In many cases, this proved a false
economy, since carbon steel performs poorly against corrosion and abrasion.

Durinox™ stainless steels is an excellent choice for agricultural industries as it is both chemically inert in contact with food and produce and also biologically inert which reduce the risk of micro-organism colony growth.

Durinox™ offers the following benefits compared to austenitic stainless steels and carbon steel:

With our vast technical expertise and experience, we will help you identify area of applications in which Durinox™ will give you lower total cost of ownership or life cycle cost.
