Understanding Screw Element Metallurgy

This webinar will provide an overview of standardized test methods used for measuring abrasion and corrosion-resistance and explain how different alloy chemistries provide protection against abrasion and/or corrosion. The presentation will cover surface treatment options, through-hardened steels (wrought and PM) and manufacturing methods for screw elements (bimetallic, crest weldment and cladded/full encapsulated) along with the advantages and disadvantages of each. This presentation will explain the many choices available for high performance replacement parts to reduce the cost per wear and increase component lifetime.
