For nearly 50 years, Tri-Braze has been the industry’s best performing, and largest selling specialty abrasion resistant steel. After all this time, it remains the flagship of the Tricon Wear Solutions product line. Tri-Braze has stayed as the industry leader due to its remarkable combination of strength, through – hardness, wear resistance, toughness, and weldability, which combine to outlast typical AR plate by 3 to 4 times. These properties are only achievable through proper alloy design, careful control of chemistry, removal of harmful elements such as hydrogen, sulfur and phosphorus, specially designed heat treatment, and diligent quality control. Unlike our competitors, who test their plate properties once every 40 tons of material, we test and report properties on every single plate. We believe that you deserve to know exactly what you are purchasing and we stand behind the performance and value of every plate we sell.

Tri-Braze Dura-Plus is the next generation of alloyed abrasion resistant plate. Developed to meet the specific needs of high sliding abrasion and impact encountered in truck bed liners, bins, hoppers and chutes, the chemistry and processing were engineered to increase the hardness of Tri-Braze by 30-40 Brinell points, while maintaining the through hardening, toughness and weldability characteristics of traditional Tri-Braze. As with Tri-Braze, these properties are only achievable through proper alloy design, careful control of chemistry, removal of harmful elements such as hydrogen, sulfur and phosphorus, specially designed heat treatment, and diligent quality control. Like Tri-Braze, we test and report properties on every single plate. We believe that you deserve to know exactly what you are purchasing and we stand behind the performance and value of every plate we sell.

Super-C ® is a composite plate consisting of a low carbon steel base plate and a chromium carbide based wear resistant cladding. Tricon’s unique cladding process produces a plate with a surface that is harder, tougher, and more wear resistant than plate obtained by any other process. The low carbon steel base plate enables the plate to be welded, bolted or studded to existing structures, while the cladding provides a premier wear surface capable of working in the most hostile environments. Super-C ® can be successfully applied in applications involving severe abrasion and moderate impact. Super-C ® cladding gets its superior wear properties through careful metallurgical and process control. Maximum carbide concentration and optimum carbide alignment are achieved through a proprietary process and unique alloying, making Super-C ® superior to any other wear resistant plate available on the market. The herringbone pattern allows you to install either parallel to or perpendicular to the abrading material and achieve the same wear results, and the standard 20’ sections reduce weld and installation time in large sections.

Duracorr 300 is a specially designed 12% chromium, dual phase stainless steel. It is ideally suited for environments where there is a combination of abrasion and either: chemical, salt or corrosive attack; high heat; or high oxidation. Due to its low coefficient of sliding friction, it is also ideally suited for hoppers and chutes where there is bridging or sticking due to fines, moisture, or low angle exits bottoms. Duracorr offers roughly 10x the general corrosion resistance of a non-stainless weathering or hardened steel, while offering abrasion resistance comparable to AR400. It also performs well in mild chloride (salt) environments, outlasting aluminum by 2X and weathering steel by 12X.

For those times that you need a wear resistant steel, but don’t need the extreme performance of TriBraze, Tricon’s 400F and 500F can provide you with a cost effective solution. Vacuum degassing and calcium treatment gives our 400F and 500F substantially better impact resistance, crack resistance and formability than commodity 400 and 500 grades, while remaining a value price point steel.

Special Treated Pins are Tricon Wear Solutions alloyed steel pins designed to provide high wear resistance and toughness. Tricon Special Treated Pins are produced from vacuum degassed, Calcium-Silicon injected, Ni-Cr- Mo steel pin stock that has been quenched, tempered and stress relieved to 360 BHN minimum. These properties are prerequisites to a Tricon proprietary treatment, which imparts a superior wear resistant surface and tough inner core. Hardness values typically are between 600 and 713 BHN, while core impact values are exceedingly high. Special Treated Pins are mill certified, ultrasonically inspected, heat treated, straightened and stress relieved to our specifications. Each pin is put through a different metallurgical treatment, depending on the application, to ensure maximum service life.

Triloy®H.T., is Tricon Wear Solutions’ quenched and tempered, machine straightened and stress relieved alloy bar for use in shafting applications. Triloy is based on an AIAI 4340 Ni-Cr- Mo chemistry. We conduct additional processing steps to ensure that Triloy is the strongest, most fatigue resistant shafting available on the market. Impact and fatigue resistance are enhanced by chemistry control, removal of harmful sulfur and phosphorus through vacuum degassing, and ladle calcium sulfide shape treatment. The bars are stress relieved after straightening to avoid “shape bounce back” when machining, and each bar is demagnetized to ensure no pickup of metallic dust to ruin bearing surfaces.

Tricon Wear Solutions Prime Arc welding products are specifically designed to complement our portfolio of wear resistant products. We have 3 families of specialized wire, one for joining highly alloyed wear resistant plates, one for hardsurfacing on components that can tolerate weld check relief cracking, and one for non-check cracking applications. Each of our wires is produced to be best-in-class for a particular service. We have joining wires for high strength materials, dissimilar metals or specialty products such as Hadfield’s Austenitic manganese steel. We also have hardfacing wires that are meant for metal to earth, metal to metal, high impact, and high compressive wear conditions.

This is the same wire used in our Super-C Plate. It’s designed for use in high wear, low impact environments and is a chromium carbide overlay material that is intended for extreme abrasion and moderate impact applications. Commonly used in chutes, truck beds, cyclones, grizzlies and other harsh wear environments, it will outperform any chromium carbide overlay on the market.

Prime-Arc 11 is designed for use in small particle abrasion, and extreme wear environments. It’s an excellent choice for the most severe wear applications, such as screens, truck and dozer liners, and conveyors. PA 11 is a Chromium carbide based wire with additional carbide forming elements.

Prime-Arc 300 is a cost-effective, all-purpose, tool steel based weld overlay that provides good wear resistance in metal to earth and metal to metal applications. It can be applied to carbon, low carbon and manganese steels, and maintains a good balance of impact and abrasion resistance.

Prime-Arc 400 is a tool steel based weld overlay that provides excellent wear resistance in severe metal to earth environments. The deposit is martensitic, does not typically check-crack and is not readily machinable. PA 400 can be used on ultra-hard steels for increased wear life, and may also be applied to low alloy and manganese steels.

Prime-Arc MWC is a Nickel based wire that contains macrocrystalline tungsten carbide particles. The deposit contains up to 60% solid tungsten carbide and provides the highest wear resistance of any weld solution on the market. Designed to be used on critical machine components subject to severe wear, Prime-Arc MWC is the best choice to overlay dredge and rotary head cutters, earthmoving tool holders, filtering screens, and drill bits/stabilizers. It can be used in high-speed cyclone wear, critical blow line elbows and other wear applications where component failure is not an option.

Prime-Arc 22 is an austenitic manganese, steel joining and overlay wire designed for use in heavy-duty applications such as mining and rock crushing where a combination of wear and severe impact loading is present. Commonly used for products such as hammers, crusher rolls, impact plates, and frogs and switches. Deposits can be flame cut, and there is no limit to the overlay application thickness. Deposits will not typically check-crack, and the flux material gives a smooth running wire with little spatter and an easily removable slag. As the surface wears, another layer is produced, resulting in a surface with self-healing properties under the load.

Prime-Arc 3 is an 80,000 psi tensile wire that is strong and ductile enough to handle the demands of joining high- strength alloy steels. It’s capable of standing up to sub-zero temperatures. The chemistry is specifically matched to our Tri-Braze and Dura-Plus alloy steels. PA 3 provides even burn off, clean puddles and easy slag removal.

Prime-Arc 85 is a stainless steel based, all-purpose, joining wire for use in joining, rebuilding, or cushion-overlaying of dissimilar metals. It’s also used for attachment welds for our Super-C plate. PA 85 is recommended for applications that require high-strength, and resistance to heat and corrosion. It’s welder friendly with a smooth spray arc and self-peeling slag.
