In industrial machinery, particularly in mining, crushing, grinding, and heavy industry applications, high impact and wear resistance is crucial. To extend equipment life and enhance operational efficiency, special materials are required. High-manganese and chromium cast pallets are among the most important components used in these demanding conditions.

High-Manganese Cast Pallets

  • Definition: Cast pallets made from steel containing 16–21% manganese.

  • Features:

    • High impact resistance

    • Long wear life

    • Surface hardening under impact (work hardening)

  • How They Work:

    1. The surface hardens when exposed to impact and abrasive materials.

    2. The core remains flexible, preventing cracking.

    3. Absorbs energy and protects the machinery.

  • Applications:

    • Mining crushers and grinders

    • Conveyor lines

    • Quarries and aggregate production

    • Recycling and waste processing lines

Chromium Cast Pallets

  • Definition: Steel cast pallets with 1–3% chromium added.

  • Features:

    • Increased hardness and wear resistance

    • Moderate to high impact resistance

    • Chemical and oxidation resistance

  • How They Work:

    1. Surface becomes resistant to wear.

    2. Chromium provides durability against chemical effects and friction.

    3. Maintains long service life during material flow.

  • Applications:

    • Grinding machines

    • Metal processing lines

    • Conveyor systems

    • Crushers exposed to moderate impacts

Advantages of High-Manganese and Chromium Pallets

  • High durability and long service life

  • Optimized performance against impact and wear

  • Cost-effective for heavy industry, mining, and crushing lines

  • Reduces maintenance frequency during operation

Conclusion

High-manganese and chromium cast pallets are critical protective components in industrial systems. Selection depends on the intensity of impact and wear: manganese pallets excel in high-impact environments, while chromium pallets are ideal for medium-to-high impact applications requiring abrasion and chemical resistance.
