Materials Handling/Conveying Materials handling operations are notably demanding upon equipment, particularly the surface media in contact with transit material. Typically, materials are either moisture laden or are contaminated with soil or grit, which create particularly abrasive conditions. These situations require high levels of maintenance and are likely to require regular replacement. Historically it has been shown that mild steel corrosion will continue once a surface oxide has formed, due to the porous nature of the corrosion product. If this product is undisturbed the rate of corrosion will reduce, if however, mechanical action removes corrosion product periodically then the rate of attack will remain significantly high. This cycle of corrosion, followed by mechanical abrasion, describes the process of corrosion/abrasion. When abrasion occurs in wet or damp conditions, Cromgard performs well by resisting corrosive attack, and maintaining better flow and slide-ability compared to non- or low-alloyed steels, including abrasion resistant grades.
