Brochure Minerals & Mining (PDF, 25.2MB) - Thyssenkrupp

Our unique materials expertise gives our customers a
competitive edge. ThyssenKrupp is one of the world’s
leading suppliers of flat carbon steel. Many of our materials
were specifically developed for extreme conditions –
ideal for the minerals & mining industry. Our innovativeness
is also reflected in PowerCore ® electrical steel, a
high-tech material that sets new standards of efficiency.
LONGER LIFE
Our XAR ® steels open up new possibilities
for the minerals & mining industry, where
wear and abrasion place very high requirements
on materials. These steels significantly
extend the service life of components. Their
extremely high hardness is achieved through
a combination of chemical composition and
a specialized heat treatment process.

PowerCore ® electrical steel for maximum
energy efficiency
ThyssenKrupp is a premium manufacturer of electrical
steel and one of the world market leaders in this
area. Under the PowerCore ® brand we supply this
highly specialized steel grade as grain-oriented and
non-oriented electrical steel. High-tech PowerCore ®
Heavy plate as a robust basis
Heavy plate from ThyssenKrupp is ideal for highly
stressed steel structures. It guarantees maximum
robustness and strength with significantly lower
weight. In the minerals & mining industry it is used
wherever heavy-duty materials are required, for
example, in dump trucks, crawler-mounted vehicles
and electrical excavators. steels offer excellent processing and magnetic
properties and maximum energy efficiency.
Our wear-resistant XAR
Our products are available worldwide for the production
of highly efficient electrical machines. The
unique texture and resultant soft magnetic properties
of grain-oriented electrical steel allow trans formers
to operate at over 99% efficiency. The material
thus makes an important contribution to conserving
resources and protecting the environment.
® steels are the perfect
solution for manufacturers of excavator buckets,
crushers, conveyors and screens. Their high
hardness allows our customers to significantly extend
the service life of wear parts. We developed the
ultrahigh-strength N-A-XTRA ® and XABO ® steels to
reduce the weight of highly stressed structures such
as mobile cranes and shields in underground mining.
Heavy plate in detail
g Use of heavy plate as starting material, for
example, for floor panels
g XAR ® special structural steels offer extremely high
wear resistance, for example, for truck dump
bodies, excavator buckets, crushers, and side
plates for charging hoppers, and are available in
various grades and sizes: Thicknesses from 3 to
100 mm, widths up to 3,600 mm
g N-A-XTRA ® and XABO ® special structural steels
for the manufacture of bucket wheel excavators,
cranes, overburden machines and shield
components to the highest standards of safety,
available in various grades and sizes: Thicknesses
from 3 to 100 mm, widths up to 3,300 mm
