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

ColWear Plates are vacuum powder fused wear plates coated with Colmonoy® NiCrBSi or Wallex® CoCrNiW powder matrix, with or without Tungsten Carbide (WC). ColWear Plates:

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

ColWear Plates offer a unique combination of properties that suit a wide range of applications due to the inherent properties of the fused Colmonoy® (nickel) or Wallex® (cobalt) coating.

Optical micrograph (original at 500x magnification) and measured hardness values (HRC) of a ColWear Plate at varying positions within the cross section indicating 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
No dilution of the base plate
Minimum porosity within the coating
High alloy matrix hardness

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.
