Red Dog manufactures a comprehensive range of wear resistant overlays for steel plates at it's facilities in the UK using Red Dog's proprietary bulk weld process, these overlays are available from Kubes Alloys as your local Red Dog distributor. The properties of these different overlay compositions and substrates have been engineered to provide extended service life at ambient and elevated temperatures in aggressive environments involving abrasion, erosion and impact.
Red Dog plates are available in a range of thicknesses and choice of overlay alloy/base plate combinations produced with either single or double pass overlay layers as appropriate.
Red Dog's particular method of manufacture of overlay plate is especially suited for producing overlay thicknesses with greatly extended service life. The narrow overlay bead morphology, and it's characteristic fine pattern of stress cracking, ensures optimum resistance to the loss of the protective overlay deposit through spalling under even the most severe conditions.
Red Dog's proprietary plate technology, combined with over fifty years experience in the development and application of wear resistant alloys, is also available to customers to modify standard products or develop special alloys to meet specific application needs.
All Red Dog's wear resistant plate is manufactured under strict quality control systems.
As part of our commitment to adding value through services, Kubes Alloys also offers in-house cutting and fabrication of Red Dog™ wear resistant plate as either liners or complete structures. In addition, Kubes Alloys can provide a custom hardfacing service to protect or refurbish a wide range of wearing components with various alloy compositions.
Nominal compositions for undiluted alloy overlays
Below is a summary of Red Dog's alloy range showing the nominal composition of the undiluted overlay. More detailed information with compositions and hardnesses for single and second layer overlays is available by contacting Kubes Alloys.
Unless otherwise stated, the typical operating temperatures of these materials is up to 450°C (840°F).
