New used engine for the Roberts Park FPD (more)

Roberts Park has acquired a used 2009 Seagrave Marauder II engine that previously served the Mansfield Fire Department in Massachusetts. This new apparatus will replace Engine 303, which was formerly known as Engine 31 and had a long history with Justice Fire Department as Engine 551 before being transferred. The 1993 Pierce Dash, now retired, has been an important part of the department's fleet for many years. Here are some photos of the new and old engines. The 2009 Seagrave is in excellent condition and is expected to serve the community well. Below are images of the 1993 Pierce Dash fire engine, which has now been retired after years of service. Also included is a photo from our archives showing Justice Engine 551 when it was brand new, captured by Larry Shapiro. It's always interesting to see how these vehicles have aged over time. Thanks to Keith for sharing this information and helping to keep the history alive.

Wear Plate

By alloying several percent of carbon with a minimum, 12 % alloy (primarily chromium), hard carbides are formed and dispersed throughout the surfacing deposit.




These dispersed carbides are much harder than the surrounding matrix and provide excellent abrasion resistance. They are used when the primary wear factor is abrasion. At the lower end of the carbon range (less than 3 %) the quantity of carbides is small compared to the matrix where they are dispersed.


These alloys exhibit good abrasive wear resistance while retaining good toughness. These carbide-surfacing alloys are used to resist a combination of abrasion and impact. As the carbon content increases (to as much as 7 %), in the carbide containing alloys, the abrasion resistance increases and the toughness decreases. This is due to the higher percentage of carbides. As carbides are undermined and knocked out by moving abrasive particles, additional carbides are uncovered to further resist abrasives and delay wear as shown in the diagram to the right.


The low carbon steel base plate enables the plate to be welded, bolted or studded to existing structures, while the hard facing provides the premier wear-resistant surface capable of working in all applicable service conditions at either ambient or elevated temperatures.


HP Wear Resistant Group offers various products of wear plates namely Cr-Carbide Weld Clad Plates, Smooth Surface CCO plate, Heat Treated Wear Plates (AR Plate or Q&T Steel), Casting Plates, Tungsten Carbide Coated Plates in various grade and multiple size options.


Due to its excellent properties, HP Wear Plates work for long-lasting service life and super performance, which are well applied to the industries like Cement Plant, Steel Mill, Mining Site, Power Generation, Construction where need combat with abrasion.
