SAS Global Corporation

SAS Global Corporation has over 60 years of expertise with abrasion-resistant materials. During those 60-plus years, SAS Global has developed equipment and a proprietary manufacturing method for producing Premium Carbide Overlay Wear Plate Products known as SureAlloy®. All of the alloys used in the creation of SureAlloy® are custom blended by SAS Global, enabling quality control from start to finish, and ensuring you receive the finest chromium carbide plate and complex carbide overlay plate available today.

SureAlloy®  is available in a large range of thicknesses. Our advanced technology permits overlays on unusually thin base plates and to deposit thicker overlays than the base plate for lower-weight solutions or other specific customer applications.

SureAlloy is available in the following:

SA1750CR Premium Chromium Carbide Overlay Plate
SA1750CR® is a Premium Chromium Carbide Overlay Plate consisting of a Hypereutectic Matrix with 50-60% Chromium Carbides metallurgically fused to an appropriate steel substrate. This large amount of hard chromium carbides allows SA1750CR to thrive in environments of extremely high abrasion.

SA2000® Premium Complex Carbide Overlay Plate
SA2000® is a specially formulated complex carbide overlay plate designed to generate a high concentration of small primary carbides greatly improving wear resistance over conventional chromium carbide alloys. The refined microstructure containing harder complex carbides provides greater wear resistance and improved toughness. The inert refractory carbides present also increase the temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Up to double the service life of a standard chromium carbide overlay plate.

SA6000® Patented Microstrucure Complex Carbide Overlay Plate
SA6000® is the new future of overlay wear plate.  The patented microstructure of SA6000 is highly refined with tightly packed complex carbides. This fine-grain microstructure reduces the propagation of cracks, which results in not only superior protection from abrasion but also unheard-of impact resistance!

SA-MCC
SA-MCC was developed to satisfy the various application needs of our customers. SA-MCC Multiple Complex Overlays can be custom blended to provide material characteristics needed for specific wear resistivity.  For example, if the application requires increased impact resistance and temperature rating, the blend of complex carbides would have higher levels of Molybdenum and Niobium.

RapidFlow® Premium Smooth Surface Carbide Overlay Plate
SAS Global Engineers a smooth surface finish on all SureAlloy® Premium Weld Overlay Products. The standard SureAlloy® surface finish can be blanchard ground to provide an even lower coefficient of friction for applications with heavy material hang-up issues. This premium surface is known as RapidFlow® Premium Surface Carbide Overlay Plate. The surface is ground and polished to a 0.2 Ra Micro-Meters finish. This finish is smoother than a stainless steel 304 with 2B finish.

SAS Global developed Vanguard Alloy Wear Plate to specifically meet the needs and challenges associated with extreme working environments. Vanguard is a water-quenched, through-hardened, martensitic steel that is highly impact and abrasion resistant. The homogeneous hardness of Vanguard is achieved by its fine-grain microstructure, which is steadily cooled during its special quench and tempering process.  Vanguard is also a very strong and tough wear plate due to its low phosphorus and sulphur content. The high hardness and strength of  Vanguard allow it to outlast AR400 by 2 to 3 times. This allows a thinner, lighter-weight liner plate to be utilized. 

SAS Global is a custom fabricator of premium steel plate products. SAS specializes in working with high alloy steels, abrasion-resistant steels, carbide overlay plates, stainless steels, and non-ferrous materials. The 185,000-square-foot SAS Global World Headquarters in Warren, MI features a 152,500-square-foot Fabrication Facility. The SAS Longview, Texas location features another 95,000 square feet of fabrication space. 

The experienced personnel of SAS Global is committed to high-quality standards and quick turn-around times.  SAS Global is not only one of the most experienced fabricators of steel and alloy materials in the United States but also one of the largest producers of Premium Carbide Overlay Plates (SureAlloy® Premium Carbide Overlay Materials) in the World.

SAS Global provides on-site 3D Laser scanning services to capture the current conditions of your components, or complete material handling/processing systems. Compared to traditional hand measuring methods, 3D scanning is more efficient, much quicker, and extremely accurate. SAS uses the latest in laser scanning technology to produce accurate and precise 3D data cloud point renderings. Each scan measures millions of points and each point knows its precise XYZ position in space. Combined, these points create a three-dimensional "point cloud" that can be navigated, drafted, and modeled in our 3D CAD software. These precise CAD drawings allow the SAS Engineering Team to create perfectly fitting components and liner systems.

Are you experiencing any of these problems with OEM components?

 • Long Lead Times
 • Shipping Delays
 • No Availability
 • Pricing 
 • Wearing Out Quickly 

When the OEM can’t get the part you need in time, is too expensive, wearing out too quickly, or is no longer in business, SAS Global is available to reverse engineer your needed components. Reverse engineering your important components ensures that parts will be available to keep your key equipment running. This eliminates the need to stock your critical components due to non-availability of the parts in the market. 

The SAS Engineering Group has a combined total of over 100 years of experience. Our department utilizes both 3D CAD and CFD modeling software, combined with model testing and 3D Scanning, to reverse engineer and fabricate your components. SAS can not only reverse engineer a like-kind replacement, but also offers design and/or material upgrades to allow for increased performance and longevity of the parts to minimize costly downtime.
