HISAN pushes HS200 wear plates for coal chute protection at Powergen

HISAN used Powergen to spotlight its HS200 chromium carbide overlay wear plate for coal chute liners in power plants, pitching the product as a fit for severe abrasion and impact. The company says its testing, fabrication capacity and broad wear-product lineup are aimed at longer service life and fewer liner-change outages.

Why it matters: - Coal chutes are a high-wear point in power plants because coal slides, falls, impacts and creates dust in the same section of steel. - Chute liner failures can drive repeated shutdowns for replacement, which raises maintenance cost and downtime. - Power plant buyers need a wear plate that fits the chute geometry, carries structural load and performs consistently over repeated orders.

What happened: - HISAN, a chromium carbide overlay wear plate supplier based in Tianjin, China, featured its coal chute solution at Powergen. - The company positioned HS200 as the grade most suited to coal chute duty in power plants, mining, ports and bulk material handling sites. - HISAN framed the product as part of a broader fuel-handling wear strategy that also covers hoppers, pipes, separator liners and ash handling lines.

The details: - HS200 uses a mild steel base plate for structural support and a chromium carbide overlay for the wear surface. - The bimetallic plate is designed to be cut, welded or bolted into place. - HS200 is offered for chute liners, hopper liners, inlet and discharge chutes, transition sections, fuel pipelines, classifier cones and ash handling pipelines. - The CCO plate line carries macro-hardness in the 57 to 63 HRC range and is tested under ASTM G65 Procedure A. - HS200 overlay thickness runs from 2 to 80 millimeters, while base material thickness runs from 2 to 150 millimeters. - Standard plate sizes include 1400 by 3000, 1500 by 3000, 2000 by 3000, 2100 by 3500 and 2100 by 6000 millimeters. - HS200 bulk hardness ranges from 58 to 65 HRC. - ASTM G65 Procedure A abrasion loss is 0.18 grams or lower. - HISAN also offers cut-to-size wear parts and full fabrication, including cutting, forming, welding, stud attachment, assembling and grinding. - Base-and-overlay combinations range from 2 plus 2 to 20 plus 80 millimeters, with other sizes available on request. - The company says its in-house testing equipment includes Vickers hardness testers, a SPECTRO spectrometer, portable hardness and thickness testers, an ASTM G65 wear test machine and a metallographic microscope. - Production equipment includes plasma cutting machines, bending and flattening equipment, pipe welding machines and an eight-torch welding line. - HISAN (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. operates from a 16,000 square-meter facility, employs more than 180 people including over 20 R&D specialists and has annual production capacity of 26,000 tons.

Between the lines: - HISAN is selling more than a plate specification; the company is pitching engineering support, fabrication and repeatable supply as part of the product. - The focus on documented hardness, wear testing and in-house production suggests the buying decision is meant to be based on measurable performance rather than a generic wear-resistant claim. - The broader product lineup signals that power plants can source multiple wear solutions from one supplier instead of managing separate vendors for chutes, pipes and repair work.

What's next: - Plant teams can review HS200 specifications, CCO plate options and HISAN’s testing and production capabilities. - More information is available through the company's website. - HISAN also points buyers to its LinkedIn page and YouTube channel for additional company and product information.

The bottom line: - HISAN is betting that power plants will choose a wear plate supplier based on verified performance, fabrication support and long-term supply capacity, not just hardness alone.
