The company advises that the new ARCOPLATE manufacturing plant specifically designed to produce extra thick (up to 20/11mm) and super alloy wear plate has been commissioned and has commenced production.
The new mill is the only one in the world capable of producing a bi-metallic fused super alloy wear plate in a thickness of application of up to 20 mm (just over � of an inch) in a single continuous casting operation.
The conventional method used to produce a hard surface overlay is by a welding method which can only achieve a weld surface which at best is � inch or 6mm thick in a single pass and is flawed with major quality technical limitations.
The new AYSI new technology has overcome all the known technical difficulties and is capable of fusing 20mm or super wear resistant alloy onto a � inch or 12mm steel backing plate.
This is a significant technological breakthrough which should see this plate be specified consistently in new mining projects and become the norm for replacements in upgrades for existing mining operations.
Mr. G Kostecki C. E. O. of the company is very encouraged with the strong interest being shown by all the major producers who have seen the test samples and the technical reports and predicts a large future demand for the product.
Mr. Kostecki was responsible for the technical innovation and development of the new process and alloy formulation.
These reports have been carried out by independent laboratories.
