Cart Wheel Solutions in Extreme Environments

Bronze Bushings were failing in a car bottom steel ingot heating furnace.  With loads of up to 100,000 pounds and temperatures of more than 700° F, the oil failed to keep the bushings lubricated.  There was oil on the floor that created a hazardous situation for the workers.  GRAPHALLOY® bushings were fitted into the housings to accept the axles of the cart wheels.   The bushings have operated for more than two years with no sign of wear.
