Fabrication Guidelines

  1. Welding:
    • Preheating is recommended for thicker plates.
    • Use low-hydrogen electrodes.
    • Suitable welding methods: SMAW, GMAW, and FCAW.
  2. Cutting:
    • Plasma cutting and laser cutting provide the best results.
    • Thermal cutting requires proper edge preparation.
  3. Bending:
    • Minimum recommended bending radius: 3 times the plate thickness.
  4. Machining:
    • Carbide tools are recommended for drilling and milling.

Advantages

  • Durability: Increases the lifespan of equipment.
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduces maintenance and replacement costs.
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Allows lighter designs without compromising performance.
  • Global Availability: Widely stocked and supported.

Applications

  • Dump truck bodies
  • Mining equipment
