I have a customer that hauls light weight aggregate materials to construction sites across the midwest. This aggregate develops a Ph of 14+ when wet. We would normally use Hardox from SSAB to line haulers. I do not believe that Hardox will stand up to the Ph levels. He asked me if building a SS tilt bed would alleviate his problem. I know that SS will not wear like a traditional wear resistant material. A complete SS bed is roughly $80K for this type hauler. I have 3-possible solutions as I see them:
1--SS bed (I am not sure which type to use)
2--SS or Aluminum lining with Teflon/Kynar/Halar coating on contact surfaces.
3--Teflon coated wear plate.
I was wondering if anyone in this forum might be able to offer suggestions or expertise to this problem.
