Bronze Liners, Steel Liners & Wear Plates

Bronze liners, steel liners or wear plates are the abrasion-resistant liners used to decrease wear and tear on surfaces subjected to heavy rolling friction and impact in the machines.

In addition, the bronze liners and steel liners have the ultimate objective to help keep the roll center lines precisely where they should be.

Why Are Detroit Edge Liners Different?

Bronze liners, Steel liners or wear plates are manufactured using CNC Machines, Blanchard & Surface Grinders, & Heat Treat where applicable.

What differentiates Detroit Edge?:

  • Material is 100% sourced from United States foundries & mills.
  • Every step of the Manufacturing Process is controlled in-house and manufactured in the United States.
  • Our In-House Heat Treat enables better depth and control of hardness.
  • DETCO Liners are Precision Ground to tighter tolerances than the competition allowing for a better fit on OEM Equipment and ultimately better wear resistance due to less friction.

Benefits of Bronze Liners, Steel Liners & Wear Plates

  • Metal liners or wear plates are designed to accommodate a variety of machinery and goods used in the manufacturing industry because they reduce the damage caused to the transferring components of machines.
  • Metal liners or wear plates are replaceable devices that are simple to install and far less expensive than replacing the part or equipment intended to protect. So, manufacturers should install Bronze liners or steel liners in their machines like rolling machines to reduce the impact transferred to the parts.
  • DETCO’s metal liners or wear plates are used to give protection from friction and vibration to the mill housing and roller bearing chocks.

Liners & Wear Plates for Steel Mill Applications

Bronze liners and steel liners, also called wear plates, are widely employed in various industries. One common application is in the Steel Mill Industry, where hot steel is rolled thru a pass-line in mill-stands

DETCO Extreme Wear Resistance (EWR) products are installed to provide extra life and longer wear resistance in these and other applications like:

Wear Plates for Press and Steel Mill Builders

 

Steel Mill Components

Dummy bars, slab dummy bars, casting platforms, Roller Tables, Roller Aprons, Crops, Shears and Strip Uncoilers, Diving Shears

Mill Stand Liners Chock Liners

Rolling mill stand liners with high wear wear-resisting properties that improve performance and protect the stand from imprint damage. chock liners protect the chock from wear and allow close clearances between the mill housing and backup roll chocks. This helps to maintain roll alignment and gaps, which both contribute to the ability of the mill to roll strip to a precise shape and gauge.

Tie Plate Wear Strips for Maximum Durability

 

Housing Liners

Close clearances between the mill housings and the backup roll chocks are maintained by the housing liners, enabling the mill to roll strip to a precise shape and gauge.

Materials Used in Bronze Liners, Steel Liners & Wear Plates

Generally, C93200 SAE 660 Bearing Bronze and C95400 Aluminum Bronze are two prominent bronze alloys used in manufacturing rolling mill liners. The C932 bronze can be utilized in easier-to-replace liners. This alloy has excellent wear characteristics and is not as hard as C954 Aluminum Bronze.

Bronze liners and steel liners at Detroit Edge Company are made up of materials with the following specifications:

  • AR400
  • A2
  • 4140
  • 4340
  • 1045
  • Compound Steel (75% CS 25% Stainless)
