Mining

Very high humidity, high temperatures and an acid and dusty environment mean that the working conditions in the mining industry are extreme. As a result, high demands are made on corrosion resistance and the impact and wear resistance of machines and materials.

Diffusion galvanized components have been used in the mining industry worldwide for decades due to the reliable and multifunctional zinc-iron alloy, which meets the strict requirements.

Sherardized high-strength steel shafts, ranging in weight from 10 kg to more than 100 kg each, serve as load-bearing hinges in shaft-supporting systems. Other applications are diffusion galvanized chains, hoisting hooks, shackles, locking pins and attachment systems.
