CDP® - Optimal Solution for Large Area Wear Protection

THE EUTECTIC DIFFERENCE

Process – CastoDur® Diamond Plate (CDP) is welded flat with flux cored wire and a controlled “cool” welding process
that together create a coating with uniform hardness and exceptional wear properties. This unique welding technique
minimizes the heat input to the base plate resulting in low dilution. The fast, controlled cooling creates an overlay with
a dense, extremely tough microstructure that is consistent across the plate. The monitored cooling also promotes small,
controlled cross checking that does not propagate into the base metal.
Conventional submerged arc methods result in uneven heating which produces high dilution, poor carbide formation and
non-uniform hardness. Plates are produced on a drum and then flattened. The flattening process induces high stress
which produces cracks that propagate deep into the overlay, and the base metal, and travel between the layers causing
de-lamination and “chunking out” in service.

Conventional wear plates delaminate and “chunk out” during CDP wear plates extend the service life of parts up to 22x longer
service. than conventional wear plates.

XuperWave® – Eutectic produces unique weld bead geometry

to combat fine particle abrasion. The directional change of the
hardfacing on the XuperWave prevents particle tracking on the weld
bead overlap and in the stress relief cracks (points most susceptible
to start wearing). The zig-zag pattern of the XuperWave ensures
that the stress relief cracks and weld beads are never aligned in the
direction of the abrasive particle flow which means that you can cut
your wear plate parts without any wasted material. This can result
in a reduction in wear by up to 30% over conventional plates. Straight Bead XuperWave® Bead

CDP® Wear Plate - Broadest Product Selection

Welded Plates: Traditional welded plate offers the optimum resistance to abrasion,
erosion, impact and metal-to-metal friction. Available as-welded in straight or
XuperWave® weld patterns.

Fused Plates: Metal alloy powder is vacuum fused to steel plate creating a uniform
hardfacing with very few stress relief cracks. Fused plates provide maximum protection
even with the thinnest of deposits, making this plate lightweight, easy to handle and
easily formed into a tight radius.

Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) Plates: PTA welded plates contain the highest carbide
content with very low dilution. They are the ultimate solution for combined erosive and
abrasive wear in the most demanding applications.

 CastoLab Services - Maintenance & Repair Workshops
Facing daily production problems and the shortage of skilled welders many
companies are outsourcing their maintenance and repair to the experts. Eutectic
has over 100 years of maintenance expertise solving heavy industry’s toughest
wear problems.

Our experienced CastoLab technicians will evaluate the wear phenomenon and
provide you with the most reliable and cost effective solution. Often this means
a combination of alloys and a specialized welding or thermal spray process only a
manufacturer of the product can provide. Or, maybe a replacement wear plate part
or pipe is the solution. We can provide new and semi-finished parts ready to be
installed, saving you costly down time and labor in your maintenance operations.

No matter what the wear or joining challenge, our fully equipped and professionally
staffed CastoLab workshop can help you.
