Product Information

Raex is a high-strength, wear-resistant steel with favourable hardness and impact toughness. It can help extend the lifespan of machinery, decrease wear in structural components and save costs. It also enables innovative design and lightweight products improving energy efficiency.

Raex abrasion resistant steel is the solution. Raex helps extend the lifespan of machinery, decrease wear in structural components and save costs. It also enables innovative design and lightweight products that improve energy efficiency. Raex is a high-strength, wear-resistant steel with favourable hardness and impact toughness.

Applications include buckets and containers, cutting edges for earthmoving machines, wearing parts for mining machines, wearing parts for concrete mixing plants and wood processing machines, platform structures, and feeders and funnels.

Raex can be supplied in 400/450/500 grades.

Features & Benefits

Raex steel structures are designed to work well in the harshest conditions with extremely abrasive wear and tear; moreover, the wear resistance properties of Raex steels significantly extend the service life of the equipment and reduce costs. Raex reduces weight compared to mild steel and increases the service life of steel structures; In other words, lightweight components generally increase the load carrying capacity by 10-20 percent and make a positive contribution in both economic and environmental factors in vehicles where this steel is used.

Raex is a steel that perfectly combines hardness, toughness and machinability, the hardness minimizes wear as the edges of abrasive materials do not cut the plate easily, and the wear resistance remains the same as the material remains equally hard throughout its service life; moreover, Raex is suitable for all structures and surfaces subject to wear and tear; It can also be used as a structural component, thanks to its excellent forming properties and toughness; that is, both a wear-resistant component and a damper body structurally bearing a load can only be made of Raex if desired.

Raex steels are ideal for lining equipment parts, such as crushers or bunkers, impact surfaces, conveyor belts, and therefore a grade of steel suitable for use in the mining industry. For example, trucks and machines that transport heavy materials suffer from excessive wear, while thinner Raex plates with higher strength will reduce overall weight and increase payload.

Efficiency plays an important role in the recycling process, and when this steel is used as recycling equipment, it is also used in this field as it will allow it to reduce costs, extend its service life and optimize production. Also as another area of use, agricultural machinery and equipment are subject to constant wear and stress, and the machine is extremely vulnerable to wear during tough fieldwork; Therefore, Raex is tough and flexible, extending equipment life and reducing the frequency and cost of replacing wearing parts.

Despite their high strength, Raex wear resistant steels can be formed and joined using conventional machining techniques; Also, whether you will weld, bend or machine the material, you can expect reliable performance. Raex steel is easily machined with high-speed steel tools, thanks to its properties, drilling, countersinking, tapping, turning and milling using traditional machining techniques. Raex wear-resistant steel provides easy automatic welding with tight thickness tolerances and good flatness and shortens assembly and assembly time.

In addition, these steels are very suitable for free and roller bending due to their uniform properties such as narrow thickness tolerances and smooth surface and cutting properties of Raex wear resistant steels; It can be cut both hot and cold and recommended methods are oxyfuel, plasma or laser cutting.

Applications

Mining

Extreme environments and hard-core challenges characterize the mining industry. If you need to dig more, crush more, load more or haul more, Raex^® wear-resistant steel can help you get the biggest jobs done. Ideal for buckets and dumper bodies, it’s also suitable for lining equipment parts, impact surfaces, transportation equipment and conveyor belts.

Suitable steel grades
Bottom dumb truck: body Raex^® 400, 450 and 500, thicknesses 15 mm and higher, sidewalls Raex^® 400, thicknesses 8-16 mm.

Buckets: Raex^® 400, 450 and 500, thicknesses from 10 to 80 mm.

Underground hauling equipment: body Raex^® 400 or 450, thicknesses 15 to 25 mm, sidewalls Raex^® 400 and 450, 10 to 16 mm.

Road Construction

Whether you need to manufacture long-haul trucks or machinery that’s built to last, Raex^® helps you solve stubborn impact and wear problems. With thin and wide Raex^® sheets, you can lower overall weight, increase payload and obtain a superior surface quality to improve your tipper’s appearance.

Suitable steel grades
Bottom dumb truck: body Raex^® 400, 450 and 500, thicknesses 15 mm and higher, sidewalls Raex^® 400, thicknesses 8-16 mm.

Buckets: Raex^® 400, 450 and 500, thicknesses from 10 to 80 mm

Agriculture

Agricultural machinery and equipment face a lifetime of wear and high-stress abrasion. Hard yet flexible, Raex® steel can help increase the lifespan of your machinery, decrease service intervals, and lower your repair and replacement costs.

Suitable steel grades
Screw conveyors, cutter knives, crushers, covers, tippers: Raex^® 400, 450 and 500, thicknesses from 2 to 8 mm.

Recycling

In the recycling business, you’ve got to stay productive and competitive. Recycling equipment needs to be able to withstand the abuse of hard, sharp objects like lumps of concrete, scrap metal and glass. Raex® comes in thin yet abrasion-resistant sheet (down to 2 mm) that will help you minimize the weight of recycling containers while maintaining their durability.

Suitable steel grades
Raex^® 400 and 450 from 2 to 8 mm thickness, mostly thin end. Excellent outlook with perfect surface quality.

Concrete and cement

Challenging work environments demand durable, reliable concrete and cement equipment. Our wide range of Raex® steels keeps your output reliable. For example, Raex® 300 makes a great fit for concrete mixers while Raex® 500 can be used in liner plates.

Suitable steel grades
Mixer drum and fins: Raex^® 300, 400 or 450, thicknesses from 2 to 6 mm. Excellent quality and flatness are enabling the great outlook.
