Alloy Steel International Inc (AYSI)

Alloy Steel International Inc was incorporated in Delaware in May 2000. The Company manufactures and distributes Arcoplate, a wear-resistant alloy overlay wear plate produced through a patented process. The patented process by which it manufactures Arcoplate enables it to smoothly and evenly apply an alloy overlay to a sheet of steel, creating a metallurgical bond between the alloy and the steel backing plate that is resistant to wear caused by impact and/or abrasion. Because of the formulation and nature of the alloy apart from wear reducing factors, Arcoplate has been proven to reduce hang-up by more than 90%. Hang up is where a residual load is left attached to the bucket, blade or a chute side, therefore reducing the effective load carried or material transported in the chute. Arcoplate is designed for installation and use where structures and machinery suffer wear and hangup problems. Common situations are: the mining of iron, gold, nickel, coal, copper and other ores; brick and cement works; power stations; the manufacture of ore feed bins, transfer chutes, dredging systems and conveyor side skirts; bulldozer blades; and truck tray and bucket loader liners. It is establishing market presence by visiting international and domestic trade shows, presenting technical papers at industry conferences, and appointing international distributors who will be trained to introduce and promote. The raw materials it employs are principally steel and a proprietary alloy compound. The wear solutions industry is highly competitive. The Arcoplate manufacturing plant is subject to many Australian laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment.
