The mining industry, as one of the most important sectors of the economy, is constantly striving to introduce the latest technologies and materials to improve the efficiency and safety of its processes. Precision alloys are one of the key materials that contribute to this. These are high-quality alloys with adjustable physical properties, such as electrical resistance, coercive force, magnetic permeability, and others. In this article, we'll look at how precision alloys are used in the mining industry, from surveying instruments to ore processing equipment.
Geodetic and surveying are an integral part of the mining industry. Specialized instruments are used to accurately measure and control the geometric parameters of mine workings, quarries and underground structures. These include levels, theodolites, tacheometers, GPS receivers, and laser scanners. All of them help surveyors do their job with high accuracy.
The main tools of surveyors are:
The use of surveying equipment makes it possible to monitor the stability of the slopes of quarries and dumps and to perform other tasks in the mining industry.
To ensure the stability and accuracy of measurements, the following precision alloys are widely used in surveying instruments:
The use of these alloys makes it possible to improve the accuracy of measurements, the reliability and durability of devices, which is especially important for mining safety.
Excavators and bulldozers are widely used in the mining industry to extract and transport ore. The high accuracy and reliability of the hydraulic systems of these machines is achieved through the use of precision alloys in elements such as valves, pistons and cylinders. In the manufacture of these parts, 36NHTU and 40KHNM alloys are widely used.
Alloys 36NHTYU et 40KHNM — have high strength and elasticity, which makes them ideal for use in mining machines operating in harsh climatic conditions.
Numerous sensors and measuring systems are used in the mining industry to monitor various parameters. Their production involves the use of precision materials with precise electrical and magnetic characteristics. Permalloy is one of these materials.
Permalloi (50N, 50NP, 79NM, 80NM, 81NMA) — a group of nickel and iron-based alloys with high magnetic permeability. They are used for the manufacture of transformer cores, inductors and other devices that require high sensitivity to the magnetic field.
Precision alloys play a key role in the production of magnetic separators based on the method of separating materials based on their magnetic properties.
During the operation of the separator, a mixture of minerals containing magnetic and non-magnetic particles is fed to a moving belt or water stream. Under the tape or under the water surface, there is a powerful electromagnet or permanent magnet. Magnetic particles are attracted to the surface of the tape or rise in the water stream, while non-magnetic particles continue to move. The magnetic particles are then separated from the tape or captured from the water stream by special devices.
When manufacturing magnetic separators, the following are used:
The use of these alloys in magnetic separators ensures high accuracy of material separation, which significantly increases the efficiency of ore enrichment processes.
