TiC Reinforced Wear Liners by Canadian Innovative Materials A New Generation of Wear Technology Canadian Innovative Materials has developed TiC reinforced Chrome White Iron (CWI) brazed liners designed for applications where exceptional abrasion resistance and long service life are critical. By reinforcing CWI with Titanium Carbide, CIM combines the proven wear resistance of Chrome White Iron with an even harder, highly wear resistant phase in areas that need it most. CIM’s T

In mining and and oil sands operations, slurry pumps and slurry valves are some of the most wear susceptible equipment in the industry. Constant contact with abrasive slurries, high velocity flow, and impact from solid particles result in rapid wear. Leading to frequent maintenance, costly downtime, and reduced productivity. ​ At Canadian Innovative Materials, our slurry pump and slurry valve components are engineered to deliver exceptional wear resistance and longer service

Severe Duty in Crushing Applications Crushing teeth and crushing segments are widely used across mining and oil sands crushing operations, where they are exposed to continuous high impact and severe abrasive wear conditions. Despite a wide range of material options available in the market, operators still face recurring challenges, including limited wear life, impact-induced damage, and occasional tooth fracture or brazed insert debonding. These issues can lead to downstream

Built to Last: CIM Suction Liners The Challenge A suction liner is a wear-resistant liner that protects the pump from abrasive slurry wear and helps maintain performance and service life. ​ In oil sands operations, suction liners are exposed to highly abrasive slurry, causing rapid wear, increased maintenance, and costly downtime. Operators require durable wear solutions that extend service life, improve equipment availability, and reduce operating costs. ​ CIM's Solution Can

In mining and oil sands operations, CCO liners face some of the harshest wear conditions in the industry. At Canadian Innovative Materials, CIMPlate™ Pump Box Liners are engineered for superior wear resistance and extended service life. Our proprietary hybrid CCO matrix and advanced modified submerged arc welding process delivers consistent, high integrity overlays with improved wear performance. Resulting in thicker and more reliable overlays. ​ Additionally, with our innova

Mining operations are tough on equipment, but not all wear solutions perform equally. Certain rubber materials have been specifically engineered to withstand harsh mining environments. Through elastic deformation, rubber absorbs particle impact forces, while certain formulations provide strong cut and tear resistance for large, angular particles. ​ Advantages Absorbs impact through elastic deformation Strong resistance to abrasion, cutting, and tearing Suitable for tailings,

Slurry systems in oil sands and mining operations experience severe localized abrasion, particularly at pump discharge, flow measurement, and valve transition zones. These high-wear areas often determine overall system reliability and maintenance frequency. Engineered Wear System CIM’s CWI Wear Spool is a purpose-built wear management solution designed to control and reduce abrasion in critical high-wear zones. The system features a high- chrome white iron (CWI) inner liner,

From Ice to Impact In mining operations, dozer undercarriage components are exposed to extreme impact, abrasion, and harsh ground conditions. Track shoes and ice lugs play a critical role in providing traction — especially in icy or winter conditions — but they wear quickly. A common challenge is that once the ice lugs wear down while the track pad remains in good condition, maintenance teams must weld new lugs to keep the machine running, which increases downtime, labor cost

Raising the Standard in Conveyor Maintenance In mining and bulk material handling, the conveyor belt pulley system is a critical link that keeps operations running continuously. Among its components, the pulley cleaner knife is a small but critical part — it scrapes off the soil and debris stuck to the belt, helping keep the system clean and running efficiently. ​ CIM’s Pulley Cleaner Knife sets a new benchmark. Engineered for extreme wear environments, it is sintered Tungste
