New air-hardening steel
New York, NY-Trial test in “UNION BETON”
The new air-hardening steel is a new steel developed to increase the wear resistance in application where is necessary to have a good balance between toughness and hardness. The hardness of this steel is about 53-58 HRC and is due to a full martensitic structure (figure 1).
Full martensitic structure

To compare how this new steel works we have made a trial test in a quarry comparing the behaviour of this steel with the old one.
QUARRY: UNION BETON Castions di strada (UD)
CRUSHER (HSI): CEDARAPIDS HSI 5048 a tre martelli
Feeding Size: 30-160 mm

Figure 2. Profile of the blow bar after the 4° flip.
The results shows that the new one maintained the profile for much more hours and this guarantee the best setting gape to have a better crushed material for much more time.
Figure 3. The profile means the thickness of the blow bar between the tip of the hammer and the rotor. The graph shows how the new martensitic steel maintained for many more hours the profile before starting to wear. The fact that the blue line started with a length higher then the yellow one is due to the different stating position of the blow bar and this did not affect the test because in just about 17 hours the length are the same, but this means that the martensitic steel stated to wear while the new one maintains the profile.

AMCAST Introduces ROCKY…Now it’s Perfect Sand Every Time
New York, NY-Amcast introduces Rocky a revolutionary tertiary crusher. Thanks to years of expertise in the crushing industry Amcast engineers and metallurgists have developed the most cost effective impact system that significantly reduces wear and tear and improves the shape index of the finished products.
Rocky reduces management cost, allows for processing of fine material and cuts down a mission of dust. This innovative new machine is available at a special introductory offer until august 31. Professional in the aggregate mining and recycling industry can contact Amcast sales director Ray Redman at ray@amcastonline.com for further information and quotes.
Rocky sand machine: quick facts
Material Input Size: 4mm to 35mm (approx)
Rocky Advantage: One of the advantages of this machine is that you can crush quarry rock or cone fines that many times are wasted or not used.
Grain adjustment: Slower RPM yields a bigger product size (filler), higher RPM yields a smaller product (grit).
No Apron Adjustment: with its double-impactor rotor design, the Rocky eliminates the need to adjust the aprons and allows for a longer life of the apron liners. The reason for this is when the aprons on other machines are adjusted and moved closer toward the rotor, the approach angle of the material impacting the liners changes and increased abrasion results.
Re Crush Cone Fines: The rocky is able to take misshapen sand produced from cones and crush them again into a more uniform shape and size suitable for jobs with the most strict quality control regulations.
Rocky Packs a Punch: The machine may look small, but when compared to its competition using the same power of 110kw, the Rocky ‘400′ outputs the equivalent of a competitor’s ‘600′ machine.
Internal Parts: All internal parts that are involved in the crushing process are a cast FX25 alloy, (Hi Chrome). These alloys have an extremely high resistance to wear and abrasion. Quality alloys and innovative engineering are combined to provide the best wear properties and overall performance of any machine in its class.
Class Power Output/hr % Usable Product
Rocky 400 110 kw 35-44 ton/hr Aprx 97% avg.
(20-25mc/h)
Competitor 400 110 kw 25-35 ton/hr Aprx 85% avg.
**Data is close approximations based on test averages, results may vary.
Sand Quality: Rocky outputs sand that is 97% usable material on average, compared to its competition at 85%. Because of Rocky’s high percentage of usable material, sand can be conveyed straight from the machine to the pile, with very minimal or no screening/ re-circulating necessary at all.

UNDERSTAND, SOLVE, DELIVER: AMCAST announces its new corporate identity and expansion plans.
New York, NY- AMCAST announces its intention to become a national player in wear parts and to communicate its role as technology innovator through a renewed corporate image, communication campaign and several seminar/training sessions targeted to the US professionals in the aggregate, mining and recycling industry.
AMCAST, with the support of its New York based marketing agency of record, Mantica Ventures, has recently renewed its corporate identity and launched a national communication campaign. The campaign brings to life its mission to “understand, solve, and deliver” and has the objective of establishing AMCAST as the “partner next door”, able to assist clients in the field by matching the right chemical composition of the wear parts with the appropriate materials and applications.
The AMCAST mission is to:
• UNDERSTAND customer needs for parts with guaranteed availability of the most popular makes and models at all times in our Warehouse
• SOLVE impact and abrasion problems with alloys that fit the specific applications
• DELIVER a top quality product born from the interaction between management, research and end user
AMCAST believes in the importance of its communication campaign. AMCAST and its foundry have an incredible technological advantage with highly innovative products, particularly in high-grade manganese casting. AMCAST plans to change the current industry paradigms and inform the industry players on the benefits of high quality wear parts use. For this reason, AMCAST is going to sponsor a series of free seminars and training sessions for the aggregate, mining and recycling professionals to share opinions and concerns about different industry related topics and dynamics and to facilitate networking and the sharing of best practices.
The first meeting of the cycle, “Aggregate, Mining, Recycling industry seminar and training” was held in Long Island on March 5 at the Carlton Hotel and Havana Cigar Club. In the current context of economic tumult and political changes, Rick Vandekieft, Chief Editor of Focus on Aggregate of the Focus On Group, presented key learnings from the government infrastructure plan and other major 2009 issues for the industry. The session also explored the role of technological innovation in manganese casting to optimize the ratio between costs and performance. Lastly, the seminar included breakout training sessions with actual case studies so that participants could share issues and lessons learnt about castings, spare parts and industry trends.
