FOUNDRY & CERAMIC INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS
Engineered hardfacing solutions for the most challenging wear environments.
Hardcarb has been working closely with numerous foundries and ceramic industries since two decades for providing engineered anti-wear hardfacing solutions. As these industries handle extremely abrasive raw materials, the wear and tear observed is exceptionally high and requires specialized solutions.
Sand binders such as soot and clay have traditionally been the source of many problems for every foundry. The wear and tear that such organic sand binders inflict on sand mixing equipment leads to significant maintenance and replacement costs. The plant productivity can be dramatically enhanced if such wear cycles are controlled by use of engineered hardfacing solutions and other such advanced wear-protection materials.
Ceramic raw materials (quartz, feldspar, clay) are quite abrasive during processing and also sticky. Dynamic movements of agitators and mixers cause severe wear of the tools which leads to high maintenance costs and reduced plant availability. Lifetimes of such wear-prone parts can easily be increased multi-fold by use of Hardcarb engineered solutions such as tungsten-carbide based hardfacing consumables and hardmetals. Following are a few examples where Hardcarb anti-wear solutions are regularly offered:
Since Hardcarb is a 360o solution provider with a comprehensive portfolio of wear protection products, we are not limited to just one solution while providing engineered hardfacing solutions for the foundry and ceramic industry. This also enables us to carry out an unbiased examination, and to propose designs for your plant components and assemblies which offer the ideal techno-economically optimized solution.
