Chrome Carbide Plates

Extend the life of your wear plates and reduce downtime with Foothills Bi Metallic plates.

Extend the life of your equipment with a Foothills Chrome Carbide Plate

Mild steel plate with a high chromium carbide weld overlay resulting in up to 10 x wear life.

Typical applications of CCO Wear Plates include wear protection for abrasive surfaces such as:

Dump truck linings
Chute Linings
Dump & Crusher Hoppers
Crusher Chutes/Bars
Feeders
Loaders
Dozer blade shovels
Transport bins
Dragline buckets & Shovels
Excavator liners
Wear Aprons/Pads
Dump Hoppers & Crusher Hoppers
Surge Bin & Bucket & Trough Liners
Rock Box & Hopper Edges/Liners
Rolling Mill Guides
Jaw Crusher Check Plates
Skid Plates
Skip & Loader & Truck Bed Liners
Lip & Adaptor Protectors
Screen Plates
Coal Transfer & Tripper Chutes

Manufactured with a Mild Steel plate base, FSF CCO is weldable, formable and machineable.

The Chromium Carbide weld overlay on the wear side increases the hardness and abrasion resistance which means that your wear plates last longer, reducing your ongoing maintenance schedule and costs as a result.

Our plates come in a variety of thicknesses to suit your application and can be customized upon request. We can control the thickness of the layer to reach the overall performance requirements, no matter what you are trying to achieve.

Fast Facts

Weld deposits are high % chromium carbide making the plate much harder than most other wear part materials
CCO matrix make the wear plate harder on the wear side whilst maintain weld ability, work ability on the reverse side
Specific overlay vs base material thickness to reach optimum overall performance requirements

Benefits

Reduce downtime on site
Longer wear life for you wear parts
Reduce maintenance costs
Out lasts other steel wear plates by up to 10 times
Easy to install
Comes in Standard plate sizes of 2100mm x 3500m
Can be cut and formed to any custom size

Technical Info

All CCO plates are made using submerged Arc process.

Chemical Composition of the weld overlay:

- C:2.0-5.0%;Mn:1.0-3.0%;Cr:24-32%;
  Fe and others: balance.
- Actual chemistry will vary with overlay thickness.

MACRO-HARDNESS:55-62HRC

The hardness is a composite of hard chromium carbides and tough austenitic matrix.
The hardness can vary depending on the thickness of the overlay, but typically reaches 650 BHN
Will withstand continuous moderate impact.
Custom overlays can be formulated to withstand higher impact.

We’ve been getting great results with our Bi Metallic plates

“We launched our CCO plates into Canada around six months ago and the Canadian market has rapidly made the switch from standard plates to Bi metallic plates. The most frequent comment we get is that their equipment simply last longer with our plates installed. Less downtime means more profit and our customers love that.”
Matt Irving – Foothills Canada

Our CCO plates have been manufactured with our automated welding equipment. We use 4 Open Arc Welders and 2 Submerged Arc Welders.
Our capacity is over 30000 m²/ year.
We have two types of CCO Plates on offer:

Chromium Carbide Overlay Wear Resistant Plate made by Submerged-arc technology
Chromium Carbide Overlay Wear Resistant Plate made by Open-arc technology for pipe internals
