    In addition to a wide thickness range, Docol hot rolled AHSS makes it possible to drastically increase the tensile strength in a component, while reducing the amount of material needed to produce it. This can result in a significant reduction in weight, while achieving the same performance and a lower cost, thanks to less material needed overall

    We compared Toolox 44 with conventional tool steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. Toolox produced better results on all points
    Mayank Kumar
    In truth tool vibration is one of the main limiting factors behind increased productivity. The build and stability of today’s machines allow for significantly higher rates. Compared with tools made of conventional materials it’s possible to increase the removal rate significantly by changing to Toolox 44.

    Hardox® HiAce doubles service life of reclaimer buckets

    Mining operations demand tough equipment that can withstand extreme impacts, stresses and wear, day in and day out. Compromising on quality — and safety — can be costly, and keeping operating costs under control is a non-negotiable. You’ve got to build your machinery with the best steels possible to not only stand up to the job, but to boost long-term productivity.This is where Hardox® HiAce wear steel comes into play as a significant factor. Mining and processing copper ore creates corrosive agents such as sulfuric acid and iron sulfates, which attack steel and decrease the service life of

    SSAB and Trelleborg in collaboration on fossil-free steel for brake pad shims

    SSAB has reached an agreement with Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Kalmar AB to deliver fossil-free steel to be used in anti-squeal plates, so-called shims for brake pads. Shims are an important part used for eliminating brake noise, especially in electric cars where annoying sounds are heard more clearly.Demand for sustainable components is high among vehicle manufacturers. This is especially true in the growing electric car segment, where the materials in the car account for a large part of the remaining carbon dioxide emissions after the exhaust gases have been eliminated. Therefore,

The volumes will increase annually as SSAB’s fossil-free production capacity grows. By using fossil-free steel, Meka Pro Oy will be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in these products by up to 95%. Fossil-free

    How Australian dump body manufacturer Bruce Rock minimizes corrosive wear in ore transport

    Hauling ore in hot and humid climates can have a devastating effect on the abrasion resistance of conventional abrasion-resistant steels. Bruce Rock Engineering in Australia was familiar with the challenges facing their mining trailer bodies transporting iron ore in Western Australia.The root of the problem   Iron ore contains small amounts of acidic salts. To suppress dust during transport, the ore is often sprayed with water. Salt and water are not a great combination in itself, and together with temperatures that often reach 45°C (113°F) in this region, a corrosive environment is

    Are your wear parts hard enough?

    The simple answer is: It depends. But that doesn’t give you much guidance when you are deciding which wear-resistant steel to choose that will optimize productivity and longevity for the wear parts in your equipment.To start, you should evaluate the abrasive materials you’re working with. Common materials include crushed granite, copper ore, iron ore, limestone and coal, ranked based on their relative hardness. Next, you’ll want to determine the desired maintenance interval to minimize downtime for the entire operation. Looking at a typical mining site, wear steel is used as liners in
