Metal Fabrication for Wear-Resistant Steel
Wear-resistant steel
Wear-resistant materials such as Hardox, Dillidur, Vautid, Abracor and Quard are strong, but also demanding to process. Rolling and press brake bending can, for example, cause distortion of the plates. Without the right expertise, that leads to rejected parts, extra costs and delays. Zaanlas has been processing wear-resistant materials for more than 30 years and knows exactly how to handle these critical material grades. As a result, you get parts that are not only strong, but also exactly the right shape.
Our plate rolling machines and press brakes are suitable for processing wear-resistant plate, including Hardox and Vautid. We use them to make loader buckets, shells, shell segments and other parts that take heavy punishment every day. Whether wear-resistant material can be rolled or bent depends on the plate thickness, width, material grade and required shape. Is rolling not possible? Then bump bending is often a good alternative. For each project, we assess which method gives the best result.
Longer service life with the right wear layer
Are your machine parts suffering from wear? We can apply a wear-resistant layer to extend their service life considerably. There are several types of wear, each depending on multiple factors, which makes choosing the right hardfacing material far from straightforward. The wrong choice means parts need replacing sooner, resulting in downtime and extra costs. That is why we first take a close look at your application before proposing a solution.
Our specialists have the knowledge and experience to help you make the best choice, both in wear-resistant plate and in hardfacing material. Because processing, fabrication and finishing all take place under one roof, you benefit from short lines of communication and short lead times. This keeps your installation in service for longer and your maintenance costs under control. Would you like to extend the service life of your parts? Contact us and we will explore the options together.
