Key Benefits of ABRACLAD Chromium Carbide Wear Plates

1. Outstanding Wear Resistance

ABRACLAD’s formula is built around a densely packed chromium carbide microstructure with a nominal composition of 4.5% C and 32% Cr. With a hardness of 60-63 HRC, this makes ABRACLAD a top-tier solution for harsh, abrasive environments.

2. Customisable Thickness and Sizes

No two projects are the same, and Brown McFarlane ensures flexibility by offering ABRACLAD wear plates in thicknesses ranging from 5mm to 50mm. Plate sizes are available in standard formats of up to 2000mm wide by 6000mm long to accommodate diverse applications.

3. Superior Performance Across Industries

ABRACLAD provides robust protection in industries such as:

• Mining & Quarrying: Extending lifespans of conveyors, crushers and screens.  
• Cement Production: Ideal for cyclones, chutes and material handling equipment.  
• Ports & Energy: Exceptional resistance to abrasive wear in handling ports and power facilities.

4. Versatility in Material Compatibility

The standard base plate of ABRACLAD is S235JR, but it can be applied to any weldable steel, including stainless steel and other grades. This adaptability extends its use to even the most specialised industrial settings.

5. Cost-Efficiency with Guaranteed Quality

ABRACLAD’s extended lifespan ensures a lower cost-per-use ratio. Its high durability, backed by EU quality certifications and detailed testing documentation, guarantees that you’re investing in a product you can trust.
