The Battle Against Abrasion
Wear and tear is the silent enemy of industrial profitability. Chutes, hoppers, and fan blades exposed to abrasive materials like clinker dust or crushed limestone will inevitably erode. However, the speed of that erosion can be drastically reduced.
What is a CCO Plate?
Chromium Carbide Overlay (CCO) plates are bi-metallic sheets consisting of a tough, impact-resistant mild steel backing, overlaid with a highly abrasive-resistant layer of chromium-rich hardfacing. This unique combination allows the plate to absorb severe impacts without cracking, while the 58-65 HRC surface hardness deflects abrasive wear.
Custom Fabrication for Plant Maintenance
The true advantage of CCO plates lies in their versatility. They can be CNC plasma-cut, rolled, and formed into complex shapes like cyclone cones or screw conveyor flights. By selectively applying these plates to high-wear zones during scheduled shutdowns, maintenance teams can increase equipment lifespan by 300% to 500% compared to standard AR steel plates.
