Eagle Offers Titanium Alloy Parts

Eagle Crusher Co., Galion, Ohio, has introduced UltraChrome titanium-alloyed blow bars designed to fit the company’s line of UltraMax impact crushers

The proprietary titanium hybrid alloy used dramatically extends wear life, according to one Eagle customer. “What we found is that we are getting well over a 50 percent increase in wear life out of the titanium blow bars,” says Jim Fifield, operations manager of recycled concrete producer Rockwall Inc., Medical Lake, Wash.

The UltraChrome bars feature an exclusively high-alloy heat-treating process that assures optimum blow bar hardness without warping or racking while providing a perfect fit, according to the company.

The toughness of the bars allows them to stand up to primary crushing applications that previously challenged existing metallurgical products—such as crushing heavily reinforced concrete, slabby recycled asphalt, basalt, limestone and shot rock. The longer wear life also reduces crusher downtime and lost production by requiring fewer blow bar changes, helping producers with their critical cost per ton equation, according to an Eagle news release.
