The Most Abrasion Resistant Hard-surfacing Material

Ultra hard chromium boride crystals with a hardness second only to diamond is the ultimate answer as an anti-wear coating for parts subjected to severe abrasion and particle impact erosion.

Exhibiting a needle like micro-structure provides a hardness of RC 68-72 with a maximum coating thickness of just 1.5mm only. The unique particles ensuring highly extended service life of the parts coated with

Applications
has a wide array of applications in continuous process industries such as power, mining, iron ore pelletisation, cement sugar, paper, etc.

Applications
is being extensively used by Original Equipment Manufactures (OEMs) of air separators, pneumatic pumps, coal mills, boiler equipment, fans, etc., as well

Applications
Wear plates manufactured by using provide buckets of heavy earth moving equipment such as dragline, shovels, wheel loaders etc., freedom from wear.

Applications
ID fans, FK pump screws, air separator guide vanes, wear plate liners, coal venturis and pipes, mill discharge valves, coal mill side liners, chutes, scrapers, bamboo chippers, air pre-heater ducts, etc., are only a few of the several applications for this super anti-wear alloy.

Application Procedure
coating can be done by Oxy-Acetylene as well as Carbon Arc Process.

Application Procedure
Oxy-Acetylene Process: Remove dust, grease scales, etc. Apply by a brush / spatula to a maximum thickness of 1.5 mm. Allow it to dry. Apply a generous carburizing flame at a point till the crystals stop glowing. It indicates sweating i.e., bonding of with base metal.

As the bonding proceeds, move the flame along at a rate sufficient to keep the sweating ahead of the flame. Width of the path depends of the surface area and base metal thickness.

Application Procedure
Carbon Arc Process: On sections exceeding 6mm, carbon arc method is recommended. Remove dirt, grease, scale, etc., and slightly warm the surface. Apply with brush or spatula to a maximum thickness of 1.5 mm. Allow it to dry. Use a pointed 6mm / 8 mm carbon electrode (-ve polarity) for fusing. Provide beads of uniform width with crescent shaped weaves. Advance at a rate sufficient to keep surface sweating ahead of the arc. Overlap succeeding beads to ensure uniform penetration

Advantages over Competition


Better wear resistance than COMPETITION since the Chromium Borides are preformed and we do not add Chromium Carbides to the paste. Microstructure - Dentritic & more dense. Better Fusion Characteristics.
