Ferobide
Ferobide: weld-on tungsten carbide wear plate
Ferobide is a reliable weld-on tungsten carbide tile solution for protecting mining operations and mining wear parts during difficult open pit or underground mining. Trusted across the globe to help users minimise equipment downtime, Ferobide reduces costs by preventing mining wear part damage and extending service life to deliver long-lasting results.
Ferobide
Chute, hopper and bucket liners for mining
Ferobide is the ideal protection for mining operations that depend on wear-resistant linings in hoppers, chutes, buckets, conveyors, augers, dumpers and more. It is also used to protect crusher wear parts. Being extremely wear-resistant, Ferobide is an optimal choice for reinforcing hard-wearing areas of larger systems to reach a balanced life.
Avoid downtime, and increase
part lifetime
Ferobide helps avoid equipment downtime and increases part lifetime. This reduces the time spent replacing worn parts and increases the uptime of machinery.
Easy to install, quick for repairs
Standard MMA and MIG welding methods can be used to install Ferobide tiles and Ferobide can be welded to any position, where brazing tungsten or glueing ceramics cannot be used.
Protect investment
Ferobide is longer lasting than conventional wear materials such as overlay plates, white iron and AR steels which greatly increase the overall life of parts and achieve maximum output from machinery
Reduced capital tied to inventory
For manufacturers, distributors, and repairers, the versatile nature of Ferobide means a small number of Ferobide SKUs stocked can be used for a wide range of parts. This reduces capital held in stocks.
Improved mining profits
Ferobide helps to reduce spend on wearing metal and avoids unplanned downtime which in turn improves profit and efficiency.
Increase payload
The low weight to wear ratio also allows weight savings to be made on equipment such as buckets which allows an increase in payload or a reduction of tyre and linkage wear.
Reduced diesel use
The attractive wear-performance-to-weight ratio of Ferobide gives maximum wear protection without increasing weight.
Sliding Wear
Harder wearing than AR steel, white iron and chromium carbide overlay
No matter what environment you work in, Ferobide stays strong and tough against the effects of rocks, coal, sand, scrap metal, minerals, and other abrasive materials and conditions. Ferobide is proven in the field as being an abrasion-resistant composite of choice that can help improve the service life of parts and equipment that face these challenges daily.
In sliding wear applications, Ferobide provides excellent wear protection outlasting conventional wear-resistant materials.
Hardness
Thanks to Ferobide’s hardness, wear is minimised as the edges of the abrasive material cannot cut as easily into the hard surface.
Versatile
Whatever you need Ferobide for, you’ll find a range of grades and dimensions to suit your application.
Performance
Ferobide’s performance isn’t just at the surface level. Hardness and durability run all the way through Ferobide wear parts.

Longer equipment life: Ferobide protects mining components such as chutes, buckets and conveyors, helping reduce wear, downtime and replacement costs.
Strong wear resistance: Datasheet testing reports approximately 3× greater abrasion resistance than tungsten carbide hardfacing and 6× greater than chromium carbide overlay plate.
Easy installation: Tiles can be cut to size and welded using standard methods. Best suited to sliding wear and low-to-moderate impact; unsuitable for high-impact applications.
