Open cast pit mining for extraction of coal, metal ores or raw materials for the chemical industry.

  • Minerals, such as metal ores, lignite and potash, are mostly extraceted in open cast mining.
    The buckets of the extremely large rotary excavators and draglines are subjected to heavy abrasion. The design of these teeth, blades and buckets changes according to the physical properties of the mineral. With a wide range of solutions; Welding Alloys is present around the world, assisting operational and maintenance personnel to reduce costs with solutions adapted to each operating environment.

Crushers

  • Many types of crushers are used for mineral processing. For primary or secondary crushing of rocks, clay or coal by pressure or by impact, WA supplies hardfacing automated solutions and in-situ services.

Maintenance of quarrying and earthmoving equipment

  • Welding maintenance of quarrying and earthmoving equipment such as power shovels, bulldozers, loaders, graders is best performed with cored wires for joining or hardfacing from Welding Alloys when high performance is required. Hardplates are widely used to produce wear resistant surfaces in buckets, chutes, sieves or washing drums, and are pre-cut, shaped and fabricated to enable a rapid exchange to wear parts and minimal downtime of high capital cost equipment.
  • WA Products and applications: Hardplates, Hoppers and Chutes, Tubes, Pipes & Elbows, Cyclone separator shells/parts

Earthmoving and dredging for construction, land fill or maintenance of waterways

  • Waterways maintenance, quarrying or land reclamation by dredging makes use of highly specialised, expensive and costly to maintain equipment. From the smallest gravel pit to the largest sea dredges (draglines, suction or bucket type) a range of solutions is available either by weld hardfacing or by installation of Hardplates
