Mining Wear Parts: 4 Alloy Points That Help Durability

Mining wear parts need to be durable and efficient. Strategic, they often represent the difference between a productive plant and a stopped processing line.

Mining and quarrying companies point to plant downtime as the main headache caused by errors in choosing alloys for parts.

For this reason, Máquinas Furlan invests in teams, such as the Metallurgical Excellence team, to provide customer service. This service will determine the choice, based on the application desired by the mining company. The improvement in the company's internal processes makes the project personalized.

Stay with us and learn about the basic requirements that a mining parts supplier must have. And see how Furlan combines expertise and improvement to generate the ideal alloy.

Decision on cast steel alloy should be personalized

The importance of cast steel alloys in the mining industry is strategic. Rock processing faces enormous challenges in its operations. One of them is the need for high resistance in the materials used, due to the wear that exists in abrasive environments.

The solution to these challenges often involves a personalized decision. Choosing the ideal alloy for each mining application requires the analysis of several factors. The list includes abrasion, impact and corrosion.

The cost and availability of the alloy weigh heavily in the decision. The crushability provided is part of the evaluation list.

As for composition, the most common alloys are manganese steel, high chromium white cast iron, carbon steels and alloy steels.

Mining wear parts with the longest lifespan? Consider these 4 points

Máquinas Furlan's experience in a large number of projects shows that a mining plant stopped for maintenance is the main headache when you do not invest in quality alloys.

Therefore, Furlan offers alloys with standards that meet the needs of the mining company or quarry. Design decisions take into account the application of the material. Furlan's technical team monitors the tests and can suggest improvements to the alloy.

However, there are 4 points that deserve special attention. In all of them, Furlan's expertise is present. Check it out!

1. Choosing a supplier like Furlan represents confidence in the assembly and adjustment of wear parts. This is due to the machining process carried out on all the blankets, coatings and jaws offered to the market.

2. More than a sale, Máquinas Furlan provides personalized technical assistance, acting as an application specialist and defining the best alloys and profiles.

3. The alloys are developed by a technical team of specialists, whose objective is to combine better performance with the type of application desired by the customer.

4. But for all of this to work, pre-sales service must be personalized. The team's experience is important to ensure that the project format is unique.

How Furlan's Metallurgical Excellence contributes to results

Furlan's strong market presence is largely the result of internal actions. The Metallurgical Excellence team optimizes production processes, which generate parts with better performance.

The internal program includes projects in which the New Product, Services and Applications Development sector (DNPSA) works in conjunction with the metallurgical area.

The FMC alloy (initials of Furlan, Manganese and Chromium) has different carbon contents depending on the crushability and abrasiveness of the processed material. In addition, Furlan has strict controls during the manufacturing process for the other elements of the chemical composition, thus ensuring excellent performance of the parts in the field.

In comparison, the FMC alloy lasts longer because it is subjected to differentiated metallurgical processes at Furlan, which are part of the expertise of over 60 years in the market.

Furthermore, one of Foundry's clients is Furlan's Equipment Division. This integration contributes to quality.

Still in the Foundry, Excelência Metalúrgica seeks new technologies, modernizes equipment and improves testing. Parts such as jaws, mantles, cones, shoes, grids, teeth and blades for loaders reach the customer within the projected specifications. The Foundry also manufactures parts for other national and international brands.

Furlan offers special commercial conditions for purchases made on a scheduled basis, another tool that has contributed to plants with fewer shutdowns.
