Chrome-Carbide Weld Overlay (CCO) Wear Plate for Severe Abrasion Resistance
AbrasaPlate® is Avweld's high-quality chrome-carbide weld overlay (CCO) wear plate, engineered for applications requiring severe abrasion and wear resistance. Available in various clad hardfacing overlay dimensions on a mild steel backing plate, AbrasaPlate® is easy to work with. It can be rolled, welded, and formed to suit fabrication requirements. A
What is AbrasaPlate® made from?
AbrasaPlate® is a chrome-carbide weld overlay (CCO) clad onto a mild steel backing plate, providing a hard-wearing surface with a workable steel base.
Can AbrasaPlate® be welded, rolled, or formed?
Yes — despite its hardfaced surface, AbrasaPlate® is designed to be easy to work with, and can be rolled, welded, and formed during fabrication.
What sizes is AbrasaPlate® available in?
AbrasaPlate® is available in standard sheets up to 2.2 x 3.0 metres, or cut to size for specific applications, with optional welded studs or drilled holes.
How does AbrasaPlate® compare to Q&T plate like Bisalloy or Hardox?
AbrasaPlate® is commonly used to replace Q&T plate in applications where products like Bisalloy or Hardox wear out too quickly. It typically extends service life by a minimum of 4 times, and up to 10 times, over Q&T 400 depending on the application.
How long has Avweld been supplying AbrasaPlate®?
Avweld has been Australia's leading wear plate distributor for over 30 years.
Key features
- Chrome-carbide weld overlay (CCO) — high-quality clad hardfacing bonded to a mild steel backing plate for severe abrasion resistance
- Workable and formable — unlike many hardfaced products, AbrasaPlate® can be rolled, welded, and formed, giving fabricators flexibility during installation
- Standard and custom sizing — available in standard sheets up to 2.2 x 3.0 metres, or cut to size for specific applications
- Studs or drilled holes on request — Avweld can supply AbrasaPlate® with studs welded or holes drilled, ready for installation
- Proven replacement for Q&T plate — commonly used where quenched and tempered plate (such as Bisalloy or Hardox) doesn't hold up to severe abrasion
- Significant life extension — typically lasts a minimum of 4 times longer than Q&T 400, and up to 10 times longer depending on the application
- 30+ years of distribution experience — Avweld has supplied wear plate across Australia for over three decades
Applications
AbrasaPlate® is suited to:
-
- Lining chutes, hoppers, and bins in mining and mineral processing
- Applications where Q&T plate (Bisalloy, Hardox) wears out too quickly under severe abrasion
- Fabricated components requiring rolled, formed, or welded wear-resistant surfaces
- Any high-abrasion application needing a long-life alternative to standard steel plate
| AbrasaPlate® AP-3000 | High quality general purpose plate designed for medium impact and high abrasion. A high volume of hexagonal chrome carbides in a tough austenitic and martensitic matrix. |
| AbrasaPlate® AP-6000 | Uniformly distributed hexagonal chromium and complex carbides imbedded in tough austenitic and martensitic matrix for high temperature applications. |
| AbrasaPlate® AP-7000 | Increased chrome carbide content achieved through the submerged arc welding process, resulting in higher abrasion resistance. |
| AbrasaPlate®-X | A 2-3mm thick cross hatch weld overlay on top of any standard plate. Increases impact resistance and allows the plate to become self protecting using a 'rock box' effect. |
| AbrasaPlate® CF | A high quality compound weld-overlay hardfaced plate. The chrome carbide overlay is applied in a unique fashion resulting in a hard, wear-resistant cladding, despite being crack free. |
| AbrasaPipe® | Internally hardfaced pipe designed for abrasion resistance. Prevents wear against fine particle slurries and dust. |
