TRICON CUSTOM ENGINEERED SOLUTION AND PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE WINS!
MARKET SEGMENT: Paper Mills
CUSTOMER: Paper Mill in Southeastern United States
APPLICATION: Screws in Paper Mills
ENVIRONMENT: High sliding abrasion
COMPETITIVE SOLUTION: Single material system of weld overlay such as
chrome carbide
ISSUES:
- Screws buried under bark can experience fatigue cracking. Fatigue
cracking is especially harmful if you have single system such as
chrome carbide overlay on barrels which check cracks
TRICON SOLUTION:
- Use single layer titanium carbide overlay on the barrels between the
flights. Since titanium carbide does not check crack like Super-C,
barrels don’t experience fatigue cracking - Two layer of tungsten carbide overlay is special matrix on flights
where wear is maximum - 2-layer Super-C on flights
