Clad wear plate
Arcoplate ARCO wear plate
Fused chromium carbide overlay plate with a smooth, weld-free surface
Overview
What Arcoplate is
Arcoplate is manufactured by a horizontal spin-cladding process that metallurgically fuses a chromium carbide alloy to a mild steel backing. The result is a flat, dimensionally consistent plate with no weld beads or stress checks on the running face, so material slides rather than snags.
Key features
- Long-lasting wear life: as little as 1 mm wear in 7 years in service
- Smooth as-clad surface reduces friction and build-up
- No cross-checking on the wear face at delivery
- Consistent overlay depth across the full sheet
- Formable, drillable and weldable through the backing
- Available as flat sheet, rolled sections, cones and pipe spools
Typical applications
- Transfer chutes
- Bin and hopper liners
- Cyclone cones
- Truck body floors
- Conveyor skirts

Why our customers keep coming back to Arcoplate
Arcoplate is recognised as the world's most wear-resistant fused alloy steel plate, and our customers see it in service: it holds its profile long after conventional wear plates have worn through. Once a plant has run one Arcoplate liner, the next order follows.

A liner that lasts longer means fewer shutdowns, less relining labour and a lower cost per tonne handled, which is why steel, cement and mining plants specify Arcoplate again at every changeout.
