Tuffbraze
Tuffbraze is a high quality abrasion resistant liner plate engineered to provide excellent resistance to a variety of severe service abrasive applications where ductility and fabrication may be required.
Benefits of Tuffbraze
- A special grade of 440 Brinell, not generic
- Quench and tempered to improve machinability and reduce brittleness
- Superior abrasion resistance
- Special nickel added chemistry providing deep hardening, not surface only
- High toughness for resistance to fracture, the most common wear problem, through:
- Clean Steel Technology
- Calcium treatment, promoting inclusion shape control
- Silicon killing, fine grain practice and vacuum degassing
