Mineral Processing

Combustion Wire Metallizing

In this process, various metal wire is fed into an oxygen-acetylene gas mixture. It is then in a molten state and sprayed onto the part being processed.

Benefits: 

This most basic of coating techniques is limited by maximum temperature attainable and the universe of materials that can be set.

Best Used For: 

Utilized to apply metal based coatings.

Electric Arc

This process uses materials in wire form, but the heat source is the arcing of two electrically conductive wires. Material is melted and propelled on the part at a greater velocity than metallizing.

Benefits: 

Higher temperatures allow for an increased source of base materials, faster rates of deposition, and improved bond and coating density.

Best Used For: 

Utilized to apply metal based coatings.

FeWC

FeWC is a cored wire filled with angular cast tungsten carbide particles in a hard Fe based matrix.

Benefits: 

Angular cast tungsten carbide particles in a hard Fe based matrix.

Best Used For: 

Used extensively for severe wear applications in oil drilling, mining, cement, power generation, pulp and paper and other industrial processes.

Flex Rope

Our flex rope is flexible rope for oxyacetylene welding, and it’s made by extruding a mixture of tungsten carbide and NiCrBSi powder around a solid nickel wire core.

Benefits: 

Flex rope is available in different diameters either with FTC or SFTC, other custom compositions can be made to order.

Best Used For: 

Hardfacing applications.

Flux core wire

Flux-cored wires are available in two main versions: gas-shielded and self-shielded.

Benefits: 

Both types are composed of an outer sheath and are filled with flux, a compound that is a mixture of alloys and deoxidizers, the latter of which are necessary to protect the weld from contaminants.

Best Used For: 

Hardfacing applications.

HVOF

In this process metal particles actually travel faster than the speed of sound, generating the best bond strengths, density and hardness of all our processes.

Benefits: 

HVOF does not reach temperatures that are attainable with plasma processes so materials such as ceramicsare not processed with this technique.

Best Used For: 

Utilized to apply metal based coatings.

Internal Diameter Cladding

We create and apply corrosion-resistant coatings to internal diameter cladding equipment to protect their surfaces from their harsh and corrosive environments.

Benefits: 

Provide corrosion protection.

Best Used For: 

A wide range of applications for corrosion control.

Laser Cladding

Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process that utilizes a laser to metallurgically bond performance coatings to a product’s base material.

Benefits: 

The process uses the laser to create a melt pool of the base material. The coating material is introduced into this melt pool in either powder or wire form.

Best Used For: 

A wide range of cladding applications; including small footprint applications.

NI40

NI40 is a cored wire filled with angular cast tungsten carbide particles in a NiBSi matrix, and is generally used as a hard facing wire when the most severe abrasion conditions are expected.

Benefits: 

The coating also has good corrosion resistance and contains solid particles of tungsten carbide (40%) in a low melting temperature Ni-B-Si alloy.

Best Used For: 

Hardfacing applications.

NIFD

NIFD is a cored wire filled with angular cast tungsten carbide particles in a NiBSi matrix and is generally used as a hard facing wire when the most severe abrasion conditions are expected.

Benefits: 

Good corrosion resistance and contains solid particles of tungsten carbide (50-60% depending on diameter) in a low melting temperature Ni-B-Si alloy. Formulated to generate low heat input.

Best Used For: 

Parts subjected to repeated wear cycles such as oil drilling tools, stabilizers, kick pads, bent subs, conveying screws, pump parts, mining and dredging equipment.

NIFD-TS

NIFD-TS is a cored wire filled with angular cast tungsten carbide particles in a NiBSi matrix and has been designed for thermal spray applications when the most severe abrasion conditions are expected.

Benefits: 

Good corrosion resistance and contains solid particles of tungsten carbide (50-60% depending on diameter) in a low melting temperature Ni-B-Si alloy.

Best Used For: 

To generate low heat input and minimize the carbide degradation during spraying.

Plasma Spray

In this process we use various gasses that are ignited by an electric arc. Temperatures can rise up to 30,000° F while the part temperature remains at less than 200°F.

Benefits: 

Particle velocity is greater than in the other four systems. One of the benefits of using this system is the high heat, which can process materials with high melting points (including ceramics).

Best Used For: 

Utilized to apply metal and ceramic based coatings.
