In demanding industrial environments, standard components often fall short. Industries like mining, cement, aggregate, and power generation face relentless challenges from extreme abrasion, impact, and corrosion. When off-the-shelf solutions wear out prematurely, it leads to costly downtime, frequent replacements, and reduced operational efficiency.


At Trumbull, we understand that true durability requires more than just "strong" metal. It demands a precisely engineered solution. We specialize in producing custom components from high-performance alloys, designed specifically to withstand your toughest applications and deliver significantly extended service life.


The Material Science Edge: Custom Alloy Development for Peak Performance


What sets Trumbull apart is our expertise in metals and service. We don’t just cast metal; we engineer it. Our capability to develop custom material alloys to meet specific application requirements means we can create the ideal metallurgical composition for your unique challenges.


Whether you're battling:

  • Intense sliding abrasion from sand and aggregate

  • High-impact wear from large ore

  • Corrosive elements in slurry transport

  • Elevated temperatures combined with wear


We can formulate and cast an alloy that provides superior resistance. This isn't guesswork; it's precision. Our chemistry is controlled by optical emission spectrometer, ensuring every batch meets the exact specifications for optimal hardness, toughness, and resistance properties.


Complex Parts, Perfect Fit: Mastering Intricate Casting


High-performance materials are only half the equation; the component's geometry is equally critical. Many wear parts feature intricate designs, internal passages, or precise contours crucial for performance. Our advanced complex cored casting capabilities allow us to produce highly detailed and intricate internal shapes that would be impossible with simpler casting methods. This precision ensures that your custom wear components fit perfectly and perform optimally from day one.


And we don't stop at the pour. Our expertise extends to producing cast and fabricated wear components and assemblies. This means we can integrate additional elements or fabrications to create a complete, ready-to-install solution. Furthermore, our access to heat treating capabilities by approved production facilities ensures that the final component achieves its maximum intended hardness and wear resistance.


The Trumbull Difference: Longer Life, Less Downtime


When you partner with Trumbull for your custom wear components, you're investing in:

  • Dramatically extended part life: Reducing the frequency of replacements.

  • Reduced maintenance and downtime: Keeping your operations running smoothly.

  • Optimized performance: Components engineered to excel in their specific environment.

  • Expert partnership: Leveraging our metallurgical and casting knowledge.
