Chromium Carbide Plate For Sale
For large-scale projects or long-term supply, consider specifying key parameters in your RFQ — including overlay thickness, hardness range, plate size, and fabrication requirements — to ensure compatibility with your operating environment and reduce downtime.
- Description
Chromium carbide overlay plate is a composite wear-resistant steel plate produced by welding a layer of hard chromium carbide onto a mild steel base. The resulting material combines excellent hardness, impact resistance, and weldability, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications in mining, cement, steel, and power generation industries.
These wear plates are designed to extend the life of machinery and equipment exposed to abrasive wear, sliding friction, or high-temperature erosion. The chromium carbide layer provides superior hardness and wear resistance, while the steel base offers structural strength and easy fabrication.
Key Technical Data of Chromium Carbide Plates
| Property / Parameter | Typical Range or Value | Description / Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness (HRC) | 58 – 65 HRC | Ensures high wear resistance and longer service life in abrasive environments. |
| Overlay Thickness | 3 – 10 mm | Determines the plate’s durability and the degree of surface protection. |
| Base Plate Material | Mild steel (Q235 / ASTM A36) | Provides structural support and allows easy cutting, welding, and fabrication. |
| Bonding Method | Open arc / submerged arc weld | Creates a metallurgical bond between overlay and base plate. |
| Chromium Content in Overlay | 25 – 35% | High chromium content forms hard carbides for superior abrasion resistance. |
| Operating Temperature Resistance | Up to 600°C | Suitable for high-temperature wear conditions. |
| Typical Plate Size | 1200 × 2400 mm or customizable | Available in standard or tailor-made sizes for industrial applications. |
Common Applications
Chromium carbide plates are used in:
-
Mining and quarrying: chute liners, hoppers, and conveyor parts
-
Cement industry: clinker handling and separator blades
-
Power plants: coal mill housings and ash handling systems
-
Steel and foundry: blast furnace chutes and sinter screens
-
Earthmoving equipment: bucket liners and bulldozer blades
Procurement Recommendations
When sourcing chromium carbide plates, buyers should evaluate hardness levels, overlay uniformity, and plate flatness. A consistent weld overlay ensures optimal wear life and stable performance under impact or vibration. Request material inspection certificates and welding procedure information for quality assurance.
