Drilling and Mining Means Wear Resistance
Drill, blast, dig, load, truck, crush, refine, process…and repeat. These operations are at the heart of the drilling and mining industries. And our castings for the drilling and mining industries do the job.
Applications of Mining Castings
Our mining castings are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of drilling and mining operations, providing durability and reliability.
- Earth Moving Equipment: Durable castings for loaders and bulldozers.
- Drills and Rigs: High-strength parts for drilling equipment.
- Hydrochemical Processing: Corrosion-resistant components for chemical processing.
- Service Tools: Reliable tools to assist rig operators.
If there is one primary requirement for the steel castings, iron castings, and nickel-alloy castings that are used to make the working parts in the drilling and mining industry, it’s wear resistance. Our experience in producing the best drilling castings and mining castings means we can produce not only wear-resistant but heat-resistant parts as well. This benefits our customers by extending the working lives of their products and ultimately meeting and exceeding the end users’ expectations.
Benefits of Our Mining Castings
Our castings offer unmatched durability and performance in demanding environments.
- Wear Resistance: Extends the life of components.
- Heat Resistance: Withstands high temperatures during operations.
- Durability: Ensures long-lasting performance.

Common Alloys for Wear-Resistant Castings
We use a variety of high-performance alloys to ensure the best results.
- Cr-Mo Alloy Steel (WC9, C5): Excellent wear resistance.
- Ni-Cr-Mo Steel (CA6NM): High strength and toughness.
Drilling and mining equipment encompasses a wide swath of manufacturers and types of equipment, including earth-moving vehicles and machines, hammers, large-scale drills and rigs, hydrochemical process equipment, hole plugs, stabilizers, specialized motors, pumps, compressors, and a wide variety of service tools to assist rig operators. Long gone are the days of just putting a hole in the ground and hoping to find something of value.
Drilling and mining are high-intensity industries, and as such, they require extremely durable cast products that can meet exacting material specifications.
