Mining wear parts and excavating wear parts are commonly replaced components used in mineral and aggregate extraction and processing. Heavy equipment wear parts include buckets, shovels, teeth, dragline parts, grinding mill liners, crawler shoes, links, clevises, power shovels, and wear plates. Wear parts or wear liners for draglines, power shovels, and tunneling machines are used to replace worn or damaged components in crushing machines, milling machines, grinding machines, and size reduction equipment. In this way, mining wear parts and excavating wear parts help mines operate more efficiently. Read this definitive guide to mining wear parts to learn more about these replaceable parts.
Applications
Mining wear parts and excavating parts are used to repair, maintain, and upgrade machinery and equipment such as backhoes, bucket excavators, cable shovels, continuous miners, dippers, and dozers. They can also be used on draglines, dredging machines, earthmovers, excavators, hard rock mining machines, and loaders. Mining wear parts and excavating wear parts are also used with tunneling and micro-tunneling equipment; mining equipment and strip mining equipment; shovels such as power shovels, steam shovels, and wire rope shovels; rippers, road headers, and trenchers; and track excavation machines, wall shearer loaders, and wheel loaders.
Materials
Material wear parts and excavating wear parts differ in terms of materials and features. Specialized materials for replacing wear parts include metal overlay clad, with a harder alloy or carbide layer, cast manganese steel, high-chrome cast irons, Ni-Hard, cobalt alloys, cemented carbides, hardened stainless steel, tools steels, martensitic steels, and austenitic steels. Manganese or high nickel steel can attain an austenitic structure. Work sets and transforms to a more rigid martensite layer during end-use. Impact and wear resistance are provided by combining materials such as manganese steel wear strips, carbide wear buttons, or high chrome cast iron plates bonded to a flexible steel backing.
