Materials & Operating Environments

Material choice should follow structural, fabrication, corrosion, abrasion, weight and service requirements.

Environment matters

Wet agriculture, corrosive exposure, abrasive soils and construction environments impose different requirements.

Engineering before promotion

Alternative materials should be evaluated and documented before being marketed as production options.

Materials for the operating environment

Material selection can respond to abrasion, corrosion, wet soils, washdown, fertiliser exposure, transport mass and repairability. Stainless or aluminium concepts require application-specific engineering rather than simple substitution.
