Heavy-Duty Dragline Track Shoes (Track Pads)
Product Description
Yile Machinery is a leading OEM foundry specializing in the casting of heavy-duty track shoes for draglines, electric rope shovels, and other large-scale mining equipment. Our track pads are engineered to provide maximum service life in the most abrasive and high-impact conditions found in open-pit mining and coal operations.
As a direct manufacturer, we offer high-quality, reliable undercarriage components that meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring the stability and mobility of your most critical assets.
Superior Material for Unmatched Wear Resistance: High Manganese Steel
The performance of a track shoe is defined by its material. We use High Manganese Austenitic Steel (such as ASTM A128 / Hadfield Steel) , the industry standard for severe impact and wear applications.
This remarkable material has a unique property: work-hardening.
In its initial state, the steel is relatively soft and easy to machine at the mounting points.
Under repeated impact and pressure from moving over rock and earth, the surface hardens dramatically, creating an incredibly tough, wear-resistant layer.
The underlying steel remains ductile and tough, preventing the track shoe from cracking under extreme loads.
This self-renewing hardness means our track shoes last longer, reducing downtime and lowering your cost per ton.
Our Manufacturing & Quality Assurance Process
Optimized Casting: We utilize advanced casting techniques to produce track shoes with a sound internal structure, free from defects like porosity or shrinkage that could lead to premature failure.
Specialized Heat Treatment: After casting, each track shoe undergoes a precise water quenching heat treatment. This critical step ensures the correct austenitic microstructure, maximizing the material's toughness and work-hardening potential.
Precision Machining: All mounting surfaces and pin holes are precision-machined to tight tolerances, guaranteeing a perfect fit with the rest of the undercarriage assembly and ensuring proper chain alignment.
Rigorous Quality Control: Every track shoe is subjected to a battery of tests, including:
Spectrographic analysis to verify chemical composition.
Hardness testing.
Dimensional inspection.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) like Magnetic Particle or Ultrasonic testing to ensure integrity.
