Low Impact, Extreme Abrasion Protection

For environments dominated by severe sliding and abrasion, with minimal impact against equipment surfaces.

Extreme abrasion application with TuffStudds

Purpose-built abrasion series

The abrasion series is engineered for extreme sliding and abrasive wear where impact is a minor concern. Its harder alloy provides maximum wear resistance.

Abrasion alloy

High carbon chromium carbide in an iron alloy matrix for extreme abrasion.

55–60 Hardness Rockwell C (HRC)

Harder, maximum resistance where abrasion is the primary challenge.

1–3% malleability

Lower compressive tolerance, best suited to low-impact environments.
