Ni-Hard Casting

In applications that call for serious levels of wear resistance, many manufacturers choose Ni-Hard castings. Compared to typical cast iron or steel, Ni-Hard casting offers better protection against abrasion that can lead to premature failures. This makes it particularly suited for industries that deal with a lot of abrasive materials, such as the mining and construction sectors.

The specific abrasion resistance Ni-Hard castings have to offer is due to the metal’s unique composition. This is formed by alloying white cast iron with nickel and chromium, which gives it significant resilience in low-impact, sliding abrasion applications. It is suited for wet and dry environments, further enhancing its versatility and utility for numerous industries. Compared to other alloys, it provides extended lifespan and higher performance.

Applications of Ni-Hard Casting

The specific properties of Ni-Hard cast iron make it ideally suited for use in industries where equipment has to take a lot of punishment. Some of the most common examples of how these castings are used across multiple sectors include the mining industry, where they are used as components inside slurry pumps and grinders. In agricultural equipment, Ni-Hard castings can be found in harvesters, plows and more. Construction companies depend on parts cast from Ni-Hard iron to convey aggregates, pump slurry containing abrasive materials and mix concrete.

Ni-Hard castings also play crucial roles in the operation of power plants, where they help make up coal crushers and other vital equipment. Many valves and agitators used in the chemical production industry also are made of Ni-Hard cast iron because of its resilience.
