Problem:
These crusher components including lid and wear plates would receive extreme abrasive wear from
processing coal. The wear was so severe that the metal was completely worn through in a number of
areas. Previous method of repair was to surface weld worn areas. This repair cost was estimated to be
$3K.
Solution:
Complete repair areas were sandblasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Surface area was then
chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Wear Guard High Load was applied to a thickness of 1/2”
replacing worn eroded metal. Wear Guard High Load was smoothed and contoured using acetone as a
thinning agent following gel point. Wear Guard High Load provided a long lasting, abrasion resistant
protective surface lining. Devcon’s cost was $500.
