ROCKSHIELD carbide overlay wear plates
Carbide overlay technology

ROCKSHIELD™
Wear Plates

Engineered carbide overlay wear plates for industrial equipment exposed to abrasion, impact, erosion and demanding process conditions.

Five engineered grades

Select wear protection by operating condition.

ROCKSHIELD grades span different hardness ranges and are intended for different combinations of abrasion, impact and temperature.

Manufacturing principle

Hard carbide structure. Tough supporting matrix.

ROCKSHIELD Wear Resist Plate is manufactured using a SAW process in which a heavy layer of highly wear-resistant carbides is deposited on a mild steel base. Very hard carbides are suspended in a tough wear-resistant matrix to provide targeted wear characteristics.

Application-led grade selection

Consider abrasion severity, impact loading, temperature, material flow and component geometry when selecting a grade.
