Common Problems Solved 

Abrasion and Erosion
Problem: Mining equipment such as crushers, hammers, and chutes are subjected to severe abrasion and erosion due to the constant contact with hard and abrasive materials.
Solution: Castolin Eutectic's wear-resistant flux-cored wires provide excellent resistance to high-stress abrasion and erosion. These wires create hard, wear-resistant coatings that extend the service life of mining equipment.

Impact and Pressure Loading
Problem: Mining equipment often experiences heavy impact and pressure loading, leading to wear and deformation.
Solution: Products are designed to withstand heavy impact and pressure loading. The unique formulation of these wires provides a tough, wear-resistant coating that can handle the demanding conditions of the mining industry.

High-Temperature Wear
Problem: Mining operations often involve high-temperature environments that can accelerate wear and reduce the lifespan of equipment.
Solution: Castolin Eutectic's flux-cored wires are formulated to provide high hardness and wear resistance at elevated temperatures.

Field Repairs and Maintenance
Problem: Mining equipment often requires field repairs and maintenance, which can be challenging due to the remote and harsh conditions of mining sites.
Solution: Self-shielded flux-cored wires are developed for outdoor maintenance and repair welding of thick, heavy components. These wires do not require external shielding gas, making them ideal for field repairs.

Wear on Edges and Flanges
Problem: Drilling screws and other components in mining equipment often wear out on edges and flanges due to abrasive ground conditions.
Solution: Hard-facing with wear-resistant flux-cored wires can significantly prolong the life of these components.
