Wear protection

Erosive wear

In underground operations, every unplanned
stoppage is more expensive
than on the surface, as
repairs are harder, slower, and more dangerous.
Buckets, truck bodies, crushers and transfer points
wear rapidly under constant abrasive and impact load

WFM bimetallic plates protect the highest-load zones, extending service life by 3–5×

Every stage
of your process
is losing money
to wear

From the face to surface dispatch, every
transfer point and loading zone is a source
of unplanned wear and costly downtime.

Describe your wear zone. We’ll select
the right grade and send a tailored
proposal within one business day.

Most wear problems come from using
the wrong grade in the wrong zone.
We fix that by matching material to
actual operating conditions.
