SUPERCHROME

View Data Sheet

Wearalloy SuperChrome plate is a unique material with a base plate of Wearalloy AR400 or mild steel and plated with a surface coating of .020" electro-plated chrome. SuperChrome chemistry produces a surface designed especially for areas with severe problems of sliding wear, erosion and sticking. Wear rates of SuperChrome have shown to be comparable to that of ceramics under specific wear conditions depending on particle size. Power plants, coal prep plants and cement plants provide ideal conditions for Wearalloy SuperChrome to be cost effective - especially when "down time" matters.
