Interview to: Brendan Furey, Business Developer - TENMAT.


How long spends in the Peruvian market and which products and/or services offers for the mining industry?

TENMAT with an every time main presence in Europe and United States, finishes of ingresar to the Peruvian market of the hand of SIGECO SAC, this alliance will allow us spend our material FEROBIDE® of 75 HRC to the mining market, which believe will benefit of the only characteristics and his main useful life.

In which stages or processes of the minería can employ his products?

In all the subject processes to severe abrasion: perforación, excavation, carguío, transport, chancado, molienda, processing of residual waters PTAR, etc.

Which are the characteristics of the FEROBIDE® and in which mining applications can employ ? It could offer us an example of his advantages in front of another product?

FEROBIDE® is a carbide of tungsten, that combines tall levels of resistance to the wear and tenacity with the ease and the confiabilidad to be a material soldable by common processes like the MMA or MIG/TIG. It is an alternative checked to the electrodes of recargue by conventional welding and offers a solution of improvement respecto the revestimientos hard like the irons of temperate steel 500 HB, plates of carbide of chromium or white iron melted and the ceramics as FEROBIDE® has hardness of 75HRC and is soldable.

FEROBIDE® fulfils extremely well in areas with severe abrasive wear until half impact. It is used to reinforce critical areas in kick of mineral of iron or copper achieving 5 times the useful life of the plates of carbide of chromium.

Have very good results in ladles of shovels and excavator where ours plates of FEROBIDE® have reinforced the GET and the inferior part of the leaf averting the severe abrasive wear during the operation. Also it is used in bars of perforación and stabilizers of Raise Boring.

The union of welding that achieves averts that FEROBIDE® release unlike other conventional materials soldered by induction.

Which are the main characteristic of his technical personnel and how develop his capacities?

With the factory in Manchester, United Kingdom, TENMAT spends more than 100 years offering material advanced to a variety of sectors, have a new centre of R&D and a squad of experts in materials that allows us maintain our position to the avant-garde of innovative products and leaders in the market.

Which is his capacity of response in front of the need of a product with utmost urgency?

Understand the importance to have a local supply of FEROBIDE® and offer the best service to our clients in Peru the fastest possible, therefore we decide to collaborate with a company of very tall reputation in Peru, SIGECO SAC, those who share our commitment to offer a service of world-wide class.

Which plans of investment have for the short, average and long term?

Have confidence in our product FEROBIDE® that is showing to be very resistant to the abrasion and are sure that goes to surface like leader of the Peruvian market and his to scale global growth. Our first aim in Peru is to show his excellent performance and the reduction of significant costs.
