    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
