Application engineering note
Buckets and attachments
Map material flow, impact zones and the repair route before selecting hardness class and plate layout.
01 / Wear field
Dominant wear mechanisms
Indicative guidance. Actual plate layout, class and inspection plan are determined per order.
Indicative- 01Sliding abrasion
- 02Gouging abrasion
- 03Local impact loading
02 / Component map
Components and high-wear zones
- 01Shell sides and floors
- 02Liners and wear strips
- 03Side cutters and exposed zones
03 / Selection gate
Questions before grade selection
- 01Is the material rock, soil or a mixture?
- 02Where and how severe is impact?
- 03How long and intense is the duty cycle?
- 04Which geometry must be bent or welded?
- 05How will wear parts be accessed and repaired?
| Nominal class | Decision basis |
|---|---|
| GOREX 400 | Is the material rock, soil or a mixture? · Where and how severe is impact? · How long and intense is the duty cycle? · Which geometry must be bent or welded? · How will wear parts be accessed and repaired? |
| GOREX 450 | Is the material rock, soil or a mixture? · Where and how severe is impact? · How long and intense is the duty cycle? · Which geometry must be bent or welded? · How will wear parts be accessed and repaired? |
| GOREX 500 | Is the material rock, soil or a mixture? · Where and how severe is impact? · How long and intense is the duty cycle? · Which geometry must be bent or welded? · How will wear parts be accessed and repaired? |
04 / Fabrication
Design and fabrication
Indicative- 01Segment wear plate so heat exposure and future replacement can be controlled.
- 02Base the WPS and any preheat on actual chemistry and combined thickness.
05 / Inspection
Inspection and replacement planning
Indicative- 01Record starting thickness and fixed measurement points in principal wear zones.
- 02Plan replacement against remaining thickness, cracking and attachment condition.
06 / Quote input
