Industry solution
Wear and Corrosion Protection for Mining
Dust, moisture, abrasion and high mechanical loads characterise mining applications. As your development partner, we tailor wear and corrosion protection specifically to your highly stressed components.
Overview
Suitable Processes for Mining
Electroless Nickel achieves hardness values above 1000 HV through thermal post-treatment and deposits evenly regardless of component geometry – important for abrasively stressed functional surfaces.
For components with high corrosion protection requirements, Zinc-Nickel offers one of the highest-performing electroplated systems; Zinc-Iron adds alternatives for requirements on ductility and layer thickness.
Typical challenges
What Mining Suppliers Come to Us For
Wear-resistant functional surfaces under dust and abrasion loads
Components in mining are exposed to continuous abrasion from rock and dust. Electroless Nickel achieves hardness values above 1000 HV through thermal post-treatment and deposits evenly regardless of component geometry.
Solution: Electroless Nickel
Corrosion protection under constant moisture
Moisture and changing ambient conditions underground place high demands on the corrosion protection of steel components. Zinc-Nickel offers one of the highest-performing electroplated corrosion protection systems for this.
Solution: Zinc-Nickel
Alternative corrosion protection systems with specific layer properties
Depending on requirements for ductility, layer thickness or further processing, Zinc-Iron can offer advantages over other electroplated systems. We select the system that suits your component.
Solution: Zinc-Iron
Reproducible quality under high, continuous mechanical loading
Mining components are exposed to high mechanical loading over long operating periods – the surface must reliably withstand this stress. Documented process monitoring and recurring inspections ensure the required reproducibility.
Solution: Quality inspections
Quality & process reliability
Documented Processes for Highly Stressed Components
Before production begins, we align the process with the abrasion, corrosion and load requirements of your component. Our quality management system and ongoing product and process monitoring ensure the required reproducibility.
Our management systems are certified to IATF 16949, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001. The certificates document the respective scopes. More on quality and environment.
