NanoSteel Alloys Increase Component Service Life

NanoSteel® alloys provide resistance to corrosion and wear for improving performance of parts on mixer trucks and components in concrete batch plants.

Improved Wear Resistant for Mixer Drums
As an alternative to heavier conventional steel drums on mixer trucks, drums fabricated from a lighter steel with a NanoSteel alloy applied as a thermal spray coating inside can improve wear resistance, extend service life and increase payload capacity. Mixer trucks with lighter drums can also haul 10 cubic yard concrete payloads legal in states with laws restricting truck weight.

As an alternative to lighter composite mixer drums which can be prone to leaking from cracks and ruptures in the drum wall after only a few months in service, thinner steel drums with a NanoSteel thermal spray coating inside offer the same weight advantages as composite drums but without leaks and drum wall ruptures.

NanoSteel Alloys Extend Aluminum Chute Life
NanoSteel alloys applied as thermal spray coatings on aluminum mixer truck extension chutes offer improved corrosion and wear resistance and extend service life beyond conventional steel chutes. Aluminum chutes with a NanoSteel thermal spray coating are considerably lighter than conventional steel chutes and offer valuable health benefits to drivers by reducing ergonomic injury risk factors.

Concrete Batch Plants
NanoSteel alloys applied as thermal spray coatings and weld overlay for hardfacing and wear plate offer better corrosion, erosion and wear resistance than conventional alloy materials and can extend the service life of hoppers, bins, drums and other plant components with exposed metal surfaces.
