Fabrication and refurbishment expertise

As a major manufacturer of overlay wear resistant plate, Red Dog Linings has in-depth knowledge of the physical and mechanical characteristics of such material. This enables us to recommend the most appropriate fabrication technique and select the optimum weld bead orientation for applications in which material flow is a factor. Similarly, we can offer special low friction finishes for adhering (sticky) materials of ‘captured material’ techniques for severe environments.

The Red Dog Linings’ workshop has developed extensive experience in the profiling, forming, and fabrication of T200X ™ hardfaced plate into complex shapes including curved and conical sections. These can have T200X ™ hardfacing alloy facing on either the inside (pipe work and reduction services) or the outside (classifier cones and externally clad pipe).

Red Dog Linings Limited is the sole manufacturer of our proprietary T200X ™ hardfacing wear resistant materials. We have major fabrication facilities at our manufacturing headquarters in the UK. Red Dog Roll Reclamation, which is part of Red Dog Linings Group, is a leading specialist in the manufacture and refurbishment of hardfaced rolls for steel mills, food manufacture, and other industries. It also undertakes a wide range of general engineering projects such as the manufacture and repair of roll bearing housings, including heavy duty chocks, roll end furniture, drive shafts, and spindles.
