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