CementClinker Cooler
Clinker cooler grate plate (moving grate cooler)
Grate plates operate at 600–1000°C in clinker flow. High thermal shock + abrasion environment. Material selection: hotter zones = higher Ni content. Slot pattern controls clinker flow. LOMA / IKN / FLSmidth grate coolers – OEM drawing controlled. Casting quality (no cracks) critical – thermal shock will propagate existing defects.

Common Processes
Sand casting (resin / no-bake for complex grate geometry); heat treat (solution anneal for austenitic)
NDT & Inspection
Chemical analysis (Cr, Ni content); VT (cracks, cold shuts – common in heat-resistant alloys); dimensional (slot pattern, thickness); high-temp oxidation coupon test (where new alloy)
