PMET 73-20-7

WC 20Cr 7Ni Tungsten Carbide Powder

73% WC 20% Cr 10% Ni (Agglomerated and Sintered) 

-45/+15 µm

PMET 73-20-7 is a tungsten carbide – chromium- nickel powder specifically designed for HVOF systems. It produces a hard, abrasive and corrosion resistant coating, with a service environment up to 1400° F (760° C). High chrome like finishes can be obtained by typical grinding or lapping techniques. PMET 73-20-7 is ideal for use in a wide variety of erosive and abrasive wear applications and corrosive environments. It should be used where added corrosion protection is required versus WC-Co coatings.

Applications:

  • Oilfield Applications
  • Chemical Processing Equipment
  • Extrusion Screws
  • Other Erosion and Abrasion Wear Applications

PMET 83-17

WC 17Co Tungsten Carbide Powder

83% WC 17% Co (Agglomerated and Sintered) 

-45/+15 µm

PMET 83-17 (WC 17CO) is a tungsten carbide powder for HVOF thermal spray coatings. It has a higher Co level that provides better toughness, impact strength, and ductility than the popular WC-12Co. The dense structure of the powder provides superior coating density and increased powder flow. It produces an abrasive coating with a service environment up to 900°F (482°C).

Applications:

  • Shrouds
  • Exhaust Fans
  • Extrusion Dies
  • Pump Seals
  • Crushing Rollers
  • Sucker Rod Couplings
