PWD 106F

Chromium Oxide -45/+20

Details

-45/+20 µm

PWD 106F is a chromium oxide powder which produced a hard, wear resistant, and chemically inert coating. This coating is coveted for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly to acids, alkalis, and alcohols. This coating is able to resist wear from abrasive grains, hard surfaces, and erosion. Coatings also show anti-galling properties and sprays with low porosity. This coating is excellent for Analux rolls for the paper industry.

Applications:

Analux rolls
Chemical industry components
Pump seals, shafts, and wear rings
Other erosion and abrasion wear applications

Alumina Titania -53/+15

Details

-53/+15 µm

PWD 130 is a powder consisting of alumina and 13% titania (nominal). They are designed to produce dense, extremely wear resistant ceramic coatings that can be ground to excellent finishes. Coatings of these materials generally have higher toughness, but lower hardness, dielectric strength and relatively less resistance to chemical attack than coatings of alumina 3% titania or pure alumina. Coatings can be used at operating temperatures up to 540 °C (1000 °F).

Applications:

Hydraulic parts
Plungers
Automotive parts
Textile manufacturing components and tooling
Components for the chemical industry
Electrical insulation and dielectric applications

PWD 136F

CrO-SiO-TiO -63/+5

Details

-63/+5 µm

PWD 136F is a chromia-silica thermal spray powder which produces a hard, dense, and extremely wear resistant coating. This coating is coveted for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly to acids, alkalis, and alcohols. The silicon dioxide acts as a dampening medium that absorbs impact loading and prevents grain loosening, which enhances the wear resistance of the coating. Coatings made from this powder are insoluble in most acids, alkalis, and alcohol and when properly sealed, can be utilized in corrosive chemical environments at temperatures up to 200 °C (400 °F).
