‌The wear parts industry is moving towards sustainability

The development of the wear-resistant parts industry has gone through the process from ancient stone tools and bone tools to bronze and iron in the metal age, and then to high manganese steel and high chromium cast iron in the industrial revolution, as well as new materials in the modern science and technology era such as ceramic materials, polymer composite materials, coating technology, etc. These advances have not only improved the wear resistance of materials, but also promoted the innovation and development of the industry. In recent years, with the enhancement of environmental awareness, the wear-resistant materials industry has begun to focus on the research and development of environmentally friendly wear-resistant materials, and promoting the recycling of resources and reducing pollution to the environment has become an important direction for the development of the industry.

The industrial chain of the wear-resistant and heat-resistant casting industry covers the complete process from raw material supply, casting production to the final application market. Raw material supply includes metal raw materials such as scrap steel and pig iron, as well as special materials such as rare earth and alloy. In the casting production process, enterprises ensure the quality and performance of castings through advanced production equipment, process technology and strict quality control system. Wear-resistant and heat-resistant castings are widely used in metallurgy, electric power, building materials, mining, machinery and other fields, such as rolling mill roller rings, blast furnace tuyere, mining crusher hammer, excavator bucket teeth, etc. These castings can maintain stable performance in extreme working environments, extend the service life of equipment and improve production efficiency.
