Choosing the Right Tungsten Carbide Wear Plate for Your HPGR Application


High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGRs) are critical in mineral processing, and selecting the proper tungsten carbide wear plates is essential for optimal performance and longevity. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right wear plates:

Key Selection Factors

  1. Material Composition
    • Look for high-grade tungsten carbide with optimal cobalt binder content (typically 6-12%)
    • Consider specialized formulations for extreme abrasion or impact conditions
  2. Hardness vs. Toughness Balance
    • Higher hardness (up to 1500 HV) for maximum wear resistance
    • Higher cobalt content for better impact resistance in more demanding applications
  3. Grain Size
    • Fine grain sizes (1-3 μm) for superior wear resistance
    • Medium grain sizes for applications requiring both wear resistance and toughness
  4. Plate Geometry
    • Match the plate size and thickness to your specific HPGR model
    • Consider interlocking designs for better stability

Application-Specific Considerations

  • Ore Characteristics: Harder ores require more wear-resistant grades
  • Operating Pressure: Higher pressures may require tougher formulations
  • Throughput Rates: Higher volumes may justify premium wear plates

Leading Manufacturers

Consider reputable suppliers like:

  • Zhuzhou Old Craftsman Precision Alloy Co.,Ltd.

Maintenance Tips

  • Regular inspection for cracks or excessive wear
  • Proper installation to avoid stress concentrations
  • Monitor performance to determine optimal replacement intervals
