Wear Resistant Steel Bucket Liners

Ford Steel provides Wearalloy® steel bucket liner fabrication services to a wide range of industries. Utilizing Wearalloy® 400, 450, 500 and Nickel Chrome Plus Plate (A-572 and A-514 are also available), Ford Steel can fabricate wear resistant steel bucket liners for loader, excavator, dragline, and shovel buckets. 

Buckets suffer a tremendous amount of abrasion which leads to a rapid depreciation of an investment that should provide centuries of reliability. Unfortunately, loader buckets can retire quickly from being cracked, worn, and severely damaged due to the lack of the buckets being adequately protected. One of the most cost-effective and quickest way to extend the bucket's life is investing in wear resistant Wearalloy® steel bucket liners. Benefits of Wearalloy® steel bucket liners include:

• Longevity of loader buckets and excavators
• Greater carrying capacity for more weighted products
• Reduces sliding and movement
• Cost-efficient
  
  

Wear resistant steel bucket liners can take heavy blows without the risk of deformity or damage. In severe applications such as loader buckets, Wearalloy® steel is more suitable because of the steel's high-grade alloy coating such as nickel and carbon that creates stronger corrosion and wear resistant. Wearalloy® steel has no fixed chemical formula, it is created and sold depending on the hardness range needed for each application. Several options for Wearalloy® steel bucket liners include:

• Wearalloy® 400 wear-resistant steel bucket liners offer four times the longevity that other steel plates with a tensile strength of 180 200 ksi.
• Wearalloy® 450 is the sweet spot of wear-resistant steel that is thin and lightweight without sacrificing tensile strength.
• Wearalloy® 500 is not as flexible in forming shapes as Wearalloy® 400 and Wearalloy® 450.
