Today, due to higher performance of equipments and products , the number of machines operated in higher revolution, higher sliding, and higher pressure, and under heat and corrosion resistant conditions is steadily increasing. On the other hand, users' demands are becoming more diversified and sophisticated with regard to wear and abrasion, requiring products with longer life cycle, products that are maintenance-free, and reduction of noise caused by detrition , etc..

Based on accumulated technology and various wear resistance data that extend over a period of years on manufacturing and processing of wear- resistant alloys, Mitsubishi Materials manufactures various wear- resistant alloys and alloy powders, while making proposals on wear- resistant alloys and offering various services.

The following list, for reference, is a comprehensive introduction of the various types of alloys regarding wear- resistant alloy selection. Please note that each data is an average value based on experimental data, and is not a guaranteed value.
