Chromium Carbide Overlay
Chromium Carbide Overlay Plates are the ideal solution for extreme wear and impact environments, combining hard, wear-resistant overlay with a tough steel base.
With a range of grades, overlay thicknesses, and plate sizes, CCO plates can be customized to meet the demands of mining, cement, power, and material handling industries.
Quick Inquiry
- Description
Chromium Carbide Overlay (CCO) Plate is a type of wear-resistant bimetallic steel plate where a high-hardness chromium carbide layer is welded onto a mild steel base.
This combination provides:
-
Extreme abrasion resistance (hardness up to 58–65 HRC)
-
Impact toughness from the base steel
-
Long service life in mining, cement, power, and material handling applications
CCO plates are widely used in crusher liners, slurry chutes, screw conveyors, hoppers, and impact areas.
Common Chromium Carbide Overlay Grades
| Grade / Type | Overlay Hardness (HRC) | Base Steel | Overlay Thickness (mm) | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCO-1 / 1.0 mm weld | 58–60 HRC | Q235 / mild steel | 3–6 mm | Light abrasion areas, chutes, hoppers |
| CCO-2 / 2.0 mm weld | 60–62 HRC | Q235 / S355 | 6–8 mm | Crushers, feeders, conveyor liners |
| CCO-3 / 3.0 mm weld | 62–64 HRC | Q235 / NM400 | 8–12 mm | High abrasion areas, impact + wear zones |
| CCO-4 / 4.0 mm weld | 64–65 HRC | NM400 / AR450 | 12–15 mm | Severe wear zones, mining equipment, slurry pipelines |
| CCO-5 / 5.0 mm weld | 65 HRC | AR400 / AR450 | 15–20 mm | Extreme wear applications, hammer plates, knife edges |
Note: Hardness is measured on the overlay surface. The base steel provides toughness and weldability.
Typical Plate Specifications
| Thickness (mm) | Width (mm) | Length (mm) | Overlay Layer Thickness (mm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6–20 | 1000–2000 | 2000–6000 | 3–6 | Light wear applications |
| 8–25 | 1200–2000 | 2500–6000 | 6–10 | Medium wear, impact + abrasion |
| 10–30 | 1500–2200 | 3000–8000 | 8–12 | High wear, moderate impact |
| 12–40 | 1500–2500 | 4000–12000 | 12–20 | Severe abrasion and impact |
| 20–50 | 1800–2500 | 6000–12000 | 15–25 | Extreme mining and crushing zones |
