ARC 897 is an advanced ceramic reinforced composite for the repair and  protection of all metal surfaces subjected to severe erosion, corrosion,  and chemical attack. ARC 897 can be  used either to rebuild eroded metal surfaces or to provide a wear resistant,  sacrificial surface which frequently outperforms the original metal, rubber  liners, ceramic tiles or weld overlay. ARC 897 is a long lasting wearing  surface and is chosen over ARC 890 where a thinner, more easily applied  composite is required. It is applied at a thickness of 3 mm (1/8 inch) or more.
