Mining & Mineral

Mining applications are characterized by high-temperature wear and corrosion. MetalTek’s expertise in heat and wear-resistant materials and commitment to quality help customers in mining industries improve the operating life of their products while keeping employees safe. We work with a range of applications, including cement manufacturers and coal miners to lime and iron ore manufacturers.

Wear inserts for traveling grate chains from MetalTek more than doubled the life of conventional steel in those applications. MetalTek’s proprietary alloys and comprehensive centrifugal casting capabilities allow us to provide bushings specifically designed to meet the high-friction demands of mining applications that are often difficult to service or maintain. Sand castings from MetalTek’s Carondelet Division stand up to the extreme wear demands of high-volume taconite processing for steel production. These are just a few examples of how MetalTek can help in the extreme temperature, wear and corrosion demands of the mining industry.

MetalTek’s mining customers get more than just metal castings. They get technical expertise and depth of experience that allows them to realize improved performance and longer product life in some of the most demanding conditions possible.
