UK: Kingfisher Industrial has started manufacturing its own K-CLAD 800 series wear resistant overlay range. As the range of K-CLAD 800 overlay plate is being manufactured in-house within the UK, the process of material quality (plate and powders), deposition process, overall flatness and thickness can be controlled by means of the company’s ISO 9001 quality control certification along with its factory production control (FPC) procedures underpinning its ISO 1090 execution class three certification.

The manufacturing process uses a bulk deposit method and fluxes are mechanically deposited onto a mild steel base plate via a submerged arc fusion bonded process. Kingfisher uses a new overlay system which incorporates electronic technology to enable production of an overlay with total carbide saturation (TCS) affording increased wear resistance.

The K-CLAD 800 range can be used by industries that handle materials including ores, cement, clinker, aggregates, coal and glass. It can be supplied in sheet form or in pre-designed tailored shapes to suit its application. Typical application for the series includes the protection of transfer chutes, vibratory feeders and screens, dump trucks, hoppers and fan blades.

The UK-based wear protection specialist will be promoting the new product at the Hillhead quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition taking place in late June 2016 in the UK.

US: Martin Engineering has launched its bimetallic wear plate product Arcoplate around the world. Originally the wear plate was sold only in Brazil by the bulk handling products firm.

Martin Arcoplate uses a chromium carbide-rich metal alloy face plate with a steel back plate to resist gouging, erosion, temperature extremes and material build-up. It is marketed for excessive wear and material accumulation issues with bulk material handling. It is available in three grades. Alloy 1600 is designed for high abrasion and high impact applications. Alloy 1040 is engineered for moderate impact and cyclic temperatures up to 500°C. Alloy 8668 is suitable for extreme temperature applications, with cycles up to 700°C. Each derives its abrasion resistance from the M7C3 carbides (1500 - 1800Hv), with an average of 60% carbide dispersed through a softer, tougher matrix.

Arcoplate is manufactured by Alloy Steel International in Malaga, Australia.
