Within the abrasion resistant products industrial sector, globally so many different terms are used for principally what is the same product. Having recently appointed a marketing consultant when rebranding our business from Triten to Red Dog Linings; one of the primary goals we had was to maintain SEO ranking worldwide for our primary products and services.

This proved more difficult than first anticipated, why? When explaining our wear plate product range to my new colleague, I realised as an industry the wear plate manufacturer’s use many different terms to describe the same thing. This is multiplied with the number of resellers who are rebranding manufacturer’s chrome carbide wear plate. As if this is not bad enough, with the variety in supply base comes varying quality standards and consequently inconsistent up time performance levels in service for the customer.
Within the manufacture of 400 Hb AR steels there are a reduced number of suppliers who have set industry standards for the manufacture of 400Hb abrasion resistant plate, manufactured in steel mills around the world with associated high barrier to entry costs.
However, within the chrome carbide hardfaced plate industry entry barriers are lower and with that come a wide range of quality available but the same product can be called a range of different names by each supplier including:
Intrinsically the welding technology behind the product is the key, with the significant majority of producers electing to use Flux cored wires to manufacture their products. Where Red Dog Linings Limited differs is with the use of “Bulk Welding” technology which removes the need for the use of flux cored wires from the process.
RTSD are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
This gives Red Dog Linings control back over the wear plate overlay chemistry, which would not be present if Red Dog Linings were reliant on flux cored wire suppliers for wear plate manufacture. As a result of this control the technical welding make up of the wear plates can be controlled to give maximum client performance whilst in operation. Critically this can lead to reducing plant downtime and significant process improvement which can maximise bottom line profit for the end user.
So how does the customer decide which wear plate product they need for their application. Please read my previous article on ‘What to look out for when buying hardfaced chromium carbide plates’
Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) is engineered for extreme sliding abrasion where even AR500 steels and ceramic tiles fail early. Each industrial wear plate or pipe section carries a hypereutectic Fe‑Cr‑C weld deposit packed with primary M₇C₃ carbides (62–64 HRC) that sit on a tough, ductile steel base. This micro‑duplex architecture delivers:
· 5–6× longer wear life than quenched‑and‑tempered AR400/500 in ASTM G65 testing.
· Impact resilience – the mild‑steel backing absorbs shock loads that shatter monolithic ceramic liners.
· Thermal stability to °F (538°C) – perfect for clinker, coal and ash handling.
· Easy fabrication & field repair – plasma‑cut, roll to a 4 in (100 mm) radius, then plug‑weld or bolt in place for fast change‑outs.
· Lower total cost of ownership – fewer shutdowns, reduced labor hours, smaller spares inventory with Chrome Carbide Overlay.
With Chrome Carbide overlay, uptime climbs, maintenance windows shrink, and crews stay safer (no in‑situ gouging, no silica break‑out). Pair WC700PPlus pipe or HyperClad™ smooth plate when flow‑ability is critical—the same carbide toughness, zero hang‑ups.
