Scraper assemblies are critical components in coal handling and stockyard systems at coal-fired power plants. Continuous contact with coal subjects scraper blades, guide plates, and bottom plates to severe sliding abrasion, impact, and particle erosion. Chromium carbide overlay (CCO) wear plates and hardfacing solutions provide superior protection for high-wear areas, significantly extending service life and restoring worn components. Tailored wear-resistant alloys can be selected according to coal quality and operating conditions, reducing maintenance frequency, minimizing unplanned downtime, and improving overall reliability of the coal handling system.
