What is a Chromium Carbide Overlay Plate?
Chromium carbide overlay plates, such as ABRACLAD, are designed to deliver exceptional durability and versatility by combining a wear-resistant alloy overlay with a tough, weldable steel base.
These wear plates are engineered to provide outstanding resistance to abrasion, making them ideal for equipment subjected to harsh, high-wear environments. By using chromium carbide overlay plates, industries can significantly extend the service life of their machinery, even in some of the most demanding operating conditions, such as mining, construction and material handling.

What is the Purpose of Chromium Plating?
Chromium carbide overlay plates are specifically engineered to minimise material loss and reduce component wear caused by abrasive materials, moderate impact or high-pressure environments.
By reducing wear and tear on critical components, these plates help heavy industries lower maintenance costs, prevent expensive repairs and avoid unplanned downtime that could disrupt operations.
They are an invaluable solution for industries aiming to ensure consistent, reliable productivity while enhancing the longevity of their equipment. Additionally, their adaptability allows them to be custom-fitted for a wide range of applications, making them a versatile and cost-effective choice for demanding industrial settings.
