RHTough
Extreme protection for extreme applications


RHTough is a combination of high chromium white iron metallurgically bonded to a mild steel backing plate. The white iron has a minimum hardness of 700 Brinell (63 Rc) providing maximum abrasion resistance protection for your equipment. The mild steel is easily weldable with minimal preparation and acts as a cushion for the white iron, enabling it to handle impact and abrasion in the most extreme applications.
RHTough has established a reputation as the solution for impact and high abrasion in the mining and quarry industries, and has numerous applications in the sugar cane, recycling, cement, mineral processing and dredging industries among others.
RHTough is available in over 2,500 standard shapes and sizes and can be used in combination to protect any impact and high abrasion areas. In addition, certain Laminate products can be cut or bent to suit application, prior to welding, to help customize the protectio n on the machine.

    RHTough Back Welding
    To accomodate a wear surface requiring more than one RHTough piece, PAC offers back-welding, a process of welding two or more pieces of RHTough together on the mild steel backing plates, to form larger plate sizes and coverage: Arcstuds can be applied to all RHTough products as required.
