PROBLEM

Our paper converting customer found that they were replacing their metal brake drum on an annual basis. Closer examination revealed that the excessive wear pattern matched the spacing of the rivet holes.

It was concluded that in this application and environment, some aggressive particles worked in the path of the rivet holes causing unacceptable, uneven wear.
