Their use is especially effective where formed transitions are preferred over welding joints for flowability in material handling equipment used in the mining, aggregate, pulp and paper and construction industries.

Hardwear's improved weldability enhances it attractiveness where field welding is often performed. Application such as liners for truck beds, buckets, hoppers, chutes, crushers and conveyor troughs are among the most common. Concrete mixer drums, trash truck bottoms and bucket lips are among other applications.

A number of applications are shown throughout this brochure.

This concrete mixer drum is a typical application where abrasion resistance must be combined with formability and weldability.
