XAR® in crushers and mills

Crushers and mills are used to comminute materials like rocks, deposits, and minerals, but also coal, waste or scrap. During comminution they are subject to wear and abrasion (from Latin abrasio “scraping down”). The material used to build the crushers or mills therefore has an important influence on the durability and operating reliability of the machines.

With their high hardness, XAR® (eXtra Abrasion Resistant) steels from ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe, one of the worldwide leading flat steel manufacturers, provide outstanding protection against the forces and wear conditions generated during...
