What Is Monster Metal®?
JWC Environmental’s Monster Metal® cutters are made with a special alloy that has just the right balance of carbon for abrasion resistance and chromium for corrosion resistance and has been treated to improve its strength (HRC of 55 to 60), which is harder than most conventional alloy steel cutters for municipal grinders.
Why We Created Monster Metal
Wastewater is tough on grinder cutters. These cutters have to grind gritty material daily and handle acidic sewage. The combination of an abrasive and corrosive environment accelerates the wear down of cutter material, resulting in the loss of cutter thickness and tooth edges.
For many years, hard alloy steel and stainless steel have been the standard material choices for cutters, depending on the environment they will be exposed to. However, alloy steel is not corrosion-resistant, and stainless steel has low abrasion resistance, making it difficult for applications that are both abrasive and corrosive.
Monster Metal is JWC’s solution to this problem. Compared to alloy steel, Monster Metal is corrosion-resistant, resulting in less pitting. And with less pitting, you prevent the cycle of abrasion wearing the pitted areas and corrosion eating the abraded areas. And compared to stainless steel, Monster Metal is significantly harder. Now, you don’t have to choose between corrosion resistance or hardness. Monster Metal offers both, resulting in cutters that last longer in a gritty, corrosive wastewater environment.
