Application engineering note

Recycling and demolition

Mixed abrasion, impact and cutting contact require zoned design and a clear replacement strategy.

Dominant wear mechanisms

Indicative guidance. Actual plate layout, class and inspection plan are determined per order.

Indicative
  • 01Mixed abrasion
  • 02Irregular impact loading
  • 03Cutting and point contact

Questions before grade selection

  • 01What contamination or unknown objects may occur?
  • 02How severe and unpredictable is impact energy?
  • 03What operating temperatures occur?
  • 04What are the duty cycle and maintenance windows?
  • 05Can high-wear zones be designed for separate replacement?

04 / Fabrication

Design and fabrication

Indicative
  • 01Use zoned construction and shield critical joints from direct material impact.
  • 02Assess cutting, drilling and repair welding against actual chemistry and thickness.
05 / Inspection

Inspection and replacement planning

Indicative
  • 01Inspect crack initiation, perforation and locally loosened attachments.
  • 02Tie replacement limits to each replaceable zone, not a generic time interval.
