Tungsten carbide buttons and inserts for mining and construction

High quality carbide wear block for mining crushing machinery

Carbide wear block.

Carbide wear block sizes : As per your drawings.

Tolerance: Sinter surface ±0.1 .

Raw material selection: High quality tungsten carbide powder is preferred. 100% virgin material.
Imported German PVA sintering furnace. HIP sintering. Which can keep Tungsten carbide wear blocks in high density, High wear resistance, high-performance, extended durability and a prolonged service life.
Professional engineers and quality inspection teams ensure product process inspection and acceptance inspection to ensure stable carbide inserts quality and prevent unqualified products from being shipped.
More than 40 years of manufacturing experience.
The Tungsten carbide wear parts performance and service life are close to 90-97% of Guhringg, Ceratizitt, Boehleritt and Kennametall.
Exceptional Wear Resistance: Hardness far exceeds ordinary steel, significantly reducing material loss due to abrasive wear.
Extended Service Life: Dramatically prolongs the service life of protected components, sometimes by multiples or even orders of magnitude.
Reduced Downtime: Decreases equipment downtime caused by replacing worn parts, improving production efficiency and equipment utilization.
Lower Maintenance Costs: While the initial cost is higher, significantly reduces total maintenance costs over the long term by reducing replacement frequency and maintenance time.
Easy Replacement: Typically fixed to the base material by welding or bolting. When worn, only the wear block itself needs replacement, not the entire large component.

Carbide wear blocks applications:

Protecting Vulnerable Parts of Construction and Mining Equipment:
1.1 Excavator Bucket: Welded onto the bucket’s lip plate, sidewalls, and bottom, especially around tooth adapters, to prevent rapid wear during excavation and loading of rock, gravel, and ore.
1.2 Loader Bucket: Installed on the bucket’s cutting edge, side edges, rear wall, and bottom to resist impact and abrasion from materials (e.g., crushed stone, ore, scrap steel).
1.3 Dozer Blade: Installed on the blade moldboard, end bits (sides), and corners to protect against severe wear from soil, rock, and rubble.
1.4 Motor Grader Blade: Installed on the blade bottom and cutting edge to resist abrasive wear during road construction and land leveling.
1.5 Scraper Bowl: Protects the bowl’s cutting edge, sidewalls, and floor.
Extending the Lifespan of Material Handling Equipment:
2.1 Chutes and Hoppers: Installed in areas subject to high-impact, flow, and friction from materials (e.g., ore, coal, sand, grain, recycled scrap) at impact points, bends, and bottoms. Examples: Feed chutes under mine crushers, sinter chutes, ship loader hoppers, critical transition points in grain conveying systems.
2.2 Screen Deck Beams and Side Plates: On vibrating screens, beams and side plates endure continuous material impact and abrasion. Wear blocks can be welded onto these parts to reduce wear and extend screen frame life.
2.3 Mixer/Blender Liners: In equipment mixing abrasive materials (e.g., concrete aggregate, mineral slurry), welded onto high-wear areas of mixing arms, blades, or drum walls.
2.4 Screw Conveyor Flight Edges: Protects the edges of flights from wear during the conveying of abrasive materials.
Enhancing Wear Resistance in Mine Crushing and Grinding Equipment:
3.1 Jaw Crusher: Installed on specific high-wear areas of the moving jaw and fixed jaw plates as an additional protective layer.
3.2 Cone Crusher/Gyratory Crusher: Installed on the support ring or specific areas of the mantle (moving cone) and concave (fixed cone).
3.3 Impact Crusher: Installed on high-impact wear areas such as rotor blow bars, impact aprons/rear plates, and feed guides.
3.4 Hammer Crusher: Installed on shell liners, breaker plates (impact plates), and other parts subjected to repeated impact from material and hammers.
3.5 Ball Mill/Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill: Installed at key wear points like feed end liners, mill shell liner lifters, and discharge grates. While large liners themselves may be made of high-chromium cast iron or alloy steel, hard alloy blocks are often embedded at extreme wear points for enhanced wear resistance.
Protecting Agricultural Machinery:
4.1 Plowshares and Moldboards: Installed on the share point and moldboard wing, the parts in direct contact with soil and stones experiencing the most severe wear.
4.2 Planter Openers: Protects the edges and sides of opener discs or tines.
4.3 Combine Harvester Header: Installed on vulnerable wear points like divider points, cutterbar guards, and feederhouse floors.
4.4 Subsoiler Points: Welded onto the working surface of the point to resist soil abrasion.
Other Industrial Applications:
5.1 Recycling Industry: Inside equipment (e.g., shredders, crushers) processing scrap metal, construction debris, e-waste, to resist wear from extremely hard materials.
5.2 Cement Industry: At high-wear points in raw material mills, clinker crushers, and conveying equipment.
5.3 Steel Industry: Blast furnace charging systems, sinter crushers and conveyors, certain guides and guards in continuous casting equipment.
5.4 Snow Removal Equipment: Installed on snowplow cutting edges and wing plates to resist wear from ice/snow mixtures and road grit/sand.
Shield tunneling machine / Tunnel Boring Machine.

In short: Hard alloy wear blocks are a vital solution for extending service life, ensuring operational efficiency, and improving the cost-effectiveness of key vulnerable parts in industrial equipment and machinery wherever severe abrasive wear, impact wear, or erosive wear occurs. They act as a “sacrificial” protective layer, safeguarding more expensive, larger, and harder-to-replace base components.
