Chuck Schmitt, Head of SSAB Americas, has announced that he will retire in the summer of 2025. A recruitment process to find his successor will begin shortly.
Mining operations demand tough equipment that can withstand extreme impacts, stresses and wear, day in and day out. Compromising on quality — and safety — can be costly, and keeping operating costs under control is a non-negotiable. You’ve got to build your machinery with the best steels possible to not only stand up to the job, but to boost long-term productivity.
Hauling ore in hot and humid climates can have a devastating effect on the abrasion resistance of conventional abrasion-resistant steels. Bruce Rock Engineering in Australia was familiar with the challenges facing their mining trailer bodies transporting iron ore in Western Australia.
The simple answer is: It depends. But that doesn’t give you much guidance when you are deciding which wear-resistant steel to choose that will optimize productivity and longevity for the wear parts in your equipment.
