Material & Process
Melting & Chemistry Control: Medium-frequency induction furnaces (500 kg to 5-ton capacity) paired with real-time optical emission spectrometers to guarantee precise alloy chemistry before pouring.
Molding Technology: Furan resin-bonded sand casting ensuring high dimensional fidelity, clean surface profiles, and minimized distortion.
Heat Treatment Integration: Programmable electric resistance furnaces for precise cycles-including controlled water-toughening for austenitic manganese steel and quench-tempering for alloy steel.
Process Simulation: Computer-aided casting simulation (MAGMASOFT) utilized during rigging and gating design to eliminate internal shrinkage in critical wear zones.
Machining & Finishing
In-House Machining: Heavy-duty CNC vertical boring machines, horizontal milling centers, and radial drilling presses for precise bolt patterns, counterbores, and accurate mating faces.
Surface Preparation: Thermal cutting, air carbon arc gouging, and automated centrifugal shot blasting (SA 2.5 cleanliness standard) for immediate installation or coating.
Installation Readiness: Supplied pre-drilled, tapped, or featuring cast-in mounting studs and embedded backing plates per drawing specifications.
Quality Control & Inspection
Material Traceability: Heat numbers and grade stamps permanently cast or hard-stamped on every wear plate for full lifecycle tracking.
Laboratory Testing: Tensile strength testing, impact energy testing, and Brinell/Rockwell hardness testing performed on cast-on test coupons for every heat.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT):
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) applied to high-load and critical thickness areas.
- Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) for surface crack detection.
Documentation: Standard delivery includes EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificates (MTC), dimensional inspection reports, and heat treatment log curves.

FAQ
Q: How should I choose between Hadfield manganese steel and high-chrome white iron for wear plates?
A: Specify ASTM A128 manganese steel for high-impact, high-shock applications where surface work-hardening improves service life. Specify ASTM A532 high-chrome white iron for severe sliding abrasion environments with minimal direct impact.
Q: Can wear plates be delivered pre-machined with custom mounting holes?
A: Yes. We perform internal CNC milling, drilling, and countersinking to match your equipment mounting specifications, reducing on-site installation time.
Q: What certificates are provided with the shipment?
A: Every shipment includes an EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificate, dimensional inspection records, and heat treatment certification. NDT reports are available upon request.
Q: How do you prevent internal casting defects like shrinkage in thick sections?
A: We apply computer-aided casting solidification simulation during the tooling design stage to optimize risering, feeding paths, and cooling rates, followed by UT inspection for critical areas.
Q: What is the standard lead time for custom cast wear plates?
A: New pattern development and sampling require 15 to 25 days. Regular production runs generally take 30 to 45 days depending on heat treatment cycles and total tonnage.
Q: Do you accept orders based on physical worn-out samples instead of drawings?
A: Yes. We carry out full reverse engineering, laser scanning, and metallurgical analysis on your used sample to generate manufacturing drawings for your approval before casting.
