Material properties

Ni-Cr-Lc, under ASTM A532 Class 1 Type B, is a Ni-Cr-HC (Nickel-Chrome-High Carbon) white cast iron noted for excellent wear resistance and toughness, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. It features a hard martensitic matrix with embedded carbides, enhancing wear properties. Its hardness is primarily due to the presence of nickel and chromium, providing some corrosion resistance.

Advantage

1. Exceptional wear resistance.
2. High hardness and toughness.
3. Good resistance to impact.
4. Limited corrosion resistance.
5. Suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Application

Ni-Cr-Lc is used extensively where durability against impact and abrasion is critical. Typical applications include the mining sector for ore processing equipment like grinding mills and crusher parts. It's also used in manufacturing pumps and heavy-duty machinery components subjected to high wear conditions, and in construction and manufacturing of slurry transport systems and other applications involving abrasive materials.
