Ruukki can now supply steels for all applications requiring wear-resistant special steels. Ruukki Raex special steel can withstand wear and surface pressure and the range has now been expanded to include the thicker wear-resistant steels needed, for example, in the mining industry. Raex special steel is made in a range of thicknesses from two millimeters to 80 millimeters.
The new thicker Raex wear-resistant steels up to 80 millimeters can be used, among other things, to manufacture parts for heavy machinery and equipment designed for excavation, loading, transporting and crushing ore in mines. Such parts include the buckets for excavators and front-end loaders, tipper bodies for heavy earthmoving machinery, mine conveyor systems, crushers, silos and hoppers.
The thinner grades in the Raex wear-resistant steel product family have already been used for years in the transportation industry and other applications where a strong, wear resistant steel is needed.
