Mining, Quarries & Earthmoving

As producers of raw mineral products used across all sectors, mining remains the backbone of many economies worldwide. Extracting and refining minerals and metals from the depths of the earth can take place in some of the most remote and barren environments around the globe.

Welding Alloys have been active in the global mining industry for more than 30 years. Our experience ranges from small soft rock mining operations to some of the world’s largest, deepest, and most remote hard rock mines. Today, our products and innovative engineering solutions provide wear protection in the most extreme conditions imaginable.

Classifiers and cones fabricated from Welding Alloys wear plates, provide advanced wear protection to resist the effects of abrasion and erosion caused by the materials they process. Our linings, produced from chromium and complex carbide materials, are highly effective in increasing the service life of equipment and to combat the effects of abrasion and erosion.

At Welding Alloys, we can successfully protect and improve the wear resistance of fan impellers and casings across various industries. We offer standard and customised solutions for fans, fan blades, fan casings, and related equipment to protect against wear caused by factors such as corrosion, abrasion and erosion.

We refurbish used parts and also fabricate brand new parts, using our composite wear plates. Our range of solutions include anti-clogging products for the protection of components against harsh environments within which they operate.

When it comes to mobile equipment, it is all about availability and utilisation. At Welding Alloys, we know that mobile equipment that is out of service due to maintenance, has a direct and negative impact on production. Contact us today for more information on how our ready-to-install liner packages can put the right material in the right area to ensure optimum wear protection where it is needed most. We have proven that when maintenance of mobile equipment is fully optimised, customers benefit from a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO).

A lower wear rate is directly proportional to longer component life. There are very few areas where this is more evident than with crushers and mills. More than 30 years’ experience in the crushing and milling industries, provided Welding Alloys with the knowledge, equipment, and products that deliver optimised solutions. Customers benefit from increased component service lifetime and protection against various mechanisms of wear that keep their crusher crushing for longer.

We supply hot sinter screen lines manufactured using our wear plates, in a wide range of designs and grades according to your specific working conditions.

We provide a vast range of pipe and tube solutions that include the design and manufacture of parts using the widest range of wear resistant materials on the market.

Our wear plates are produced using specially developed Welding Alloys cored wires, which offer exceptional resistance to abrasive wear and impact, as well as high quality consistency and homogeneity of the deposit. This is achieved through our quality control processes, specifically designed equipment, advanced consumables, and processes driven by a passion to develop solutions that outperform the global standard.
