Remember: No one finds success alone.
We often forget world class athletes need next level training and coaching to continue to improve.
If world class athletes are not trying to figure it out all alone, neither should you.
8. ARE YOU ASKING TOO MUCH FROM YOUR EQUIPMENT?
JUNE 19 , 2024
Most equipment uses construction type steels, having greater strength to withstand the rugged conditions required to survive.
When your equipment is stressed beyond what it was designed for, the equipment is abused. All steels have limits to their strength.
7. DID YOU KNOW AR400 HAS NO INDUSTRY STANDARDS?
NOVEMBER 20 , 2024
Most people believe the name “AR400 steel” indicates the steel they are buying is 400 BHN (Brinell) hardness.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE NO INDUSTRY GUIDELINES OR STANDARDS FOR WEAR PLATE.
6. NEVER USE MANGANESE IN ABRASION AREAS
NOVEMBER 13 , 2024
Manganese steel stands up to constant impact longer than any other known material. Once work hardened, it will significantly resist impact longer than high carbon steel or cast iron, and will develop some abrasive wear resistance.
However, Abrasion Wear from sand or other fine materials with little impact, will rapidly wear away the surface. Abrasion resistance of Manganese steel as cast without impact, is no greater than mild steel. It is also less abrasive resistant than heat treated high carbon steel.
5. WHEN DO YOU NEED TO REPLACE YOUR CHROME CARBIDE PLATE?
MARCH 20, 2024
Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) Plates last many times longer than AR400 wear steel. They were designed to combat wear from sliding abrasive materials.
It is important to notice when the weld beads are no longer visible, this indicates it is time to replace your CCO plates.
4. SEVEN TIMES LONGER LIFE WITH CHROMEWELD™ 600
FEBRUARY 21, 2024
