High-strength steel plate WEL-TEN for plant equipment liners and chutes.
WEL-TEN Series, Nippon Steel Brand
To high-strength materials that can withstand deformation and load. We also suggest differentiating between ABREX depending on wear conditions.
In plant equipment that performs crushing, sorting, and transportation, loads, vibrations, and impacts are applied to screens, liners, chutes, hoppers, and other components. For areas where deformation and insufficient strength are issues with ordinary steel, or for structural components where it is desirable to reduce plate thickness and equipment weight, we recommend high-tensile steel plate "WEL-TEN." WEL-TEN features high tensile strength, toughness, and good weldability, making it suitable for high-strength structural components in industrial machinery and plant equipment. It is an effective option when the main objectives are to address loads and deformation, as well as to achieve thin-walling and weight reduction. On the other hand, if severe wear due to sliding against crushed stone or scrap is the primary concern, wear-resistant steel plate ABREX may be more appropriate. We will assess the materials used, impacts, and wear conditions, and select materials for each specific area.
