A Dense, Tough Surface Resistant to Corrosion, Abrasion, Erosion and impact

ColWear Plates coated with Colmonoy® NiCrBSi, Wallex® CoCrNiW or Colferoloy™ CoCrMo powder matrix, with or without Tungsten Carbide (WC):

Provide a dense, tough surface resistant to abrasion, erosion, corrosion and impact
Extend equipment service life
Reduce downtime, increase uptime

ColWear Plates’ lightweight, thin construction from a weldable mild steel or stainless steel backing plate enables ease of handling, forming and fabrication, and can be used in a wide range of industries and applications.

Optical micrograph (original at 500x magnification). Measured hardness values (HRC) of a ColWear 62-1 Plate across interface. Cross section indicates a clean interface, with no dilution of the base plate and regions of ultra high hardness due to homogeneous dispersion of tungsten carbide.

Microstructure

Colmonoy® or Wallex® matrix alloys to suit application requirements, with or without WC
Addition of Tungsten Carbide (WC) creates pockets of ultrahigh hardness within the coating designed to resist sliding abrasion and abrasive wear
Clearly defined fusion line
Discrete interface with no dilution or heat affected zone
Minimum porosity within the coating
High matrix hardness with no relief cracking

Coated Hardsurfacing Alloys

ColWear Plates are vacuum powder fused wear plates coated with Colmonoy® NiCrBSi or Wallex® CoCrNiW powder matrix, with or without Tungsten Carbide (WC). Typical examples below, however, additional ColWear Plates are available to suit your specific application. We continue to make metals work harder with new and innovative alloys that outperform competition.

Very smooth surface finish (nominal Ra = 3-4μm)

Excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance

Suitable for high impact energy applications

Textured surface finish (nominal Ra = 16-17μm)

Pockets of ultrahigh hardness

Suitable for highly aggressive wear applications

Textured finish (nominal Ra = 3-4μm)

Excellent resistance to fine particle abrasion, erosion, and metal on metal friction

Suitable for highly aggressive, high temperature wear applications

Additional ColWear Plates available to suit your specific application

Sizes and Thickness

ColWear Plates are available in a variety of standard and customised plate sizes, plate thickness and coating thickness combinations.

Due to the thin, lightweight plate design, made from a weldable mild steel or stainless steel backing plate, ColWear Plates provide resource, costs, and usability benefits:

Reduced Energy Usage
Easier Handling, Transport & Storage
Ease of Use, Installation & In-Service Maintenance

Choose the right wear plate for your specific application.
