I'm trying to reduce erosion in a copper tailings pump. I'm looking into the following:

1. Replace the liner material
2. Replace the wear ring material
3. Use a spray coating

Can anyone tell me what materials I should be looking into and which are most resistant to erosion in copper tailings service?

Thanks
