Design and Construction

A 70% carbide-loading composite rod: by weight, seven tenths of the rod is crushed tungsten carbide, three tenths matrix – the high-loading specification for deposits that must outlast everything around them.

How It Works

High loading means every pass lays down maximum grit; the wear skin is mostly carbide with just enough matrix to hold it.

Applications

Maximum-wear applications, rock duty, drilling tool rebuilds, hard-rock mining.

Field Cases

  • Rock duty: 70% rods doubled the rebuild interval on drill stabilisers.
  • Mining: the loading spec became the mine standard.
  • Rebuild shop: passes per part dropped at the higher loading.

Material Comparison: 70% vs 60% vs 50% Carbide Loading

The loading ladder – typical industry data:

Factor 70% (this rod) 60% 50%
Carbide by weight 70% – maximum 60% – balanced 50% – flexible
Wear life claim Longest Long Standard
Rod stiffness Stiffest Stiff Workable
Deposit character Mostly carbide Balanced More matrix
Best duty Extreme rock General hard-facing Fine repairs

Delivery Scope
