Problem:<br />
The flow of water <strong>and</strong> aggregate mixture feeding into the ball mill would cause extreme wear to these<br />
infeed chutes. Past repair procedure was to fabricate <strong>and</strong> install abrasion resistant plates as a liner.<br />
Abrasion resistant plates were expensive <strong>and</strong> usually required several days to fabricate.<br />
Solution:<br />
Existing Abrasion resistant plates were removed. Flat exp<strong>and</strong>able metal was tack welded in a raised<br />
position 1/8” above the actual substrate. Tack welding exp<strong>and</strong>able metal provided a mechanical bonding<br />
surface <strong>and</strong> offered improved resistance to the impacting of aggregate. Chute was then s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a<br />
SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Complete repair areas were then chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend<br />
300. Wear Guard Fine Load was applied to a thickness of 3/4” pressing through the exp<strong>and</strong>able metal,<br />
establishing complete contact to the substrate. Wear Guard Fine Load was smoothed, feathered <strong>and</strong><br />
sculpted using acetone following gel point.
