Thermal Spray Tungsten Carbide Coatings - Wear, Corrosion and High-Temperature Protection

Thermal Spray Tungsten Carbide Coatings - Wear, Corrosion and High-Temperature Protection

One Coating, Three Kinds of Protection

Fine tungsten carbide particles sprayed onto metal surfaces form a hard, dense layer that simultaneously improves wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability - a proven answer for expensive components in aggressive duty.

Key Properties

  • Hardness up to HRC 85-92, far above most metallic materials
  • Withstands severe friction, abrasion and particle erosion
  • Resistant to a wide range of acids, alkalis and salts
  • Stable at temperatures up to 1000 C
  • Flexible application by plasma, flame or arc spraying

Industries and Parts

  • Aerospace: engine blades, turbine rotors
  • Automotive: valve seat inserts, piston rings, crankshaft bearings
  • Oil and gas: drilling tools, pump bodies, valves
  • Power: boiler tubes, steam piping, turbine blades
  • Chemical: reactors, heat exchangers, agitators
  • Metallurgy: continuous casting rolls, working rolls, dies

Process Control

Automated parameter control delivers uniform, dense coatings; powder quality and spraying distance are tightly managed to guarantee repeatable performance part after part.
