Installation

Installation of wear plates usually involves no extra work other than the 'capping' of installation welds, bolts or joints with an alloy that matches the plate overlay ordered. Weldability is limited to the substrate material, thus, depending on fabricated dimension and shape and accessibility, we often recommend installation welds directly to the back of the wear face. If the plate is double sided (D/S plate), installation via bolting or studding is common. All exposed steel should be protected using a hardfacing alloy similar to the manufactured weld overlay... click here to see Trimay's consumable/overlay compatibility chart.
