Problem: Severe Sliding Abrasion
At an underground molybdenum mine in Colorado, a small fleet of 90 ton side dump haul trucks transport ore from loading chutes to a primary crusher.
When a truck dumps ore at the crusher, the entire load slides over a pair of lower side doors, each lined with a 1/2” (13 mm) Brinell 500 wear plate. Severe sliding abrasion results in the Brinell 500 wear plates requiring replacement every 6 months.
Solution: NanoSteel Overlay Wear Plate
To reduce the number of replacement cycles for side door wear plates, in December 2008 the mine replaced a pair of Brinell 500 wear plates on one truck with NanoSteel SHS 9700 overlay wear plates which feature higher resistance to severe sliding abrasion and longer service life. |

Result: NanoSteel Exceeds 500 Brinell Wear Life by more than 4x
The NanoSteel SHS 9700 overlay wear plates remain in service after hauling more than
3 million tons in 28 months while 500 Brinell plates are replaced at an average rate of every 6 months. Benefits to the mine include |
