BrazeCoat®

Description

The BrazeCoat® process enables the production of wear-resistant coatings for protecting the surfaces of components that are exposed to high levels of abrasion or erosion. The deposition brazing process under a protective atmosphere creates extremely hard compound layers which contain up to 70% by volume of fine-grained carbide particles, embedded in a metallic matrix. We offer:

  • Cost-effective wear protection for small to medium sized components that require frequent replacement
  • Two unique application methods:
    BrazeCoat-M: proprietary braze mats applied to part and furnace brazed
    BrazeCoat-S: proprietary braze suspension spray coated onto the part and furnace brazed
  • In-house BrazeCoat® application development and custom engineered coating solutions
  • BrazeCoat® materials and proprietary brazing processes are also available under mutually agreed technology license for higher volume applications

Applications include: agricultural shear bars & mixing blades, fertilizer spreader & baffle sheets, plastics processing, bulk material processing, mixing & milling technology, among others.

 

Characteristics

  • BrazeCoat Mats
    Thickness: 1-3mm
  • BrazeCoat Suspension
    Thickness: 0.1-0.3mm
  • Provide excellent abrasive wear protection due to high hardness (up to 1180 HV).
  • Exhibit high bond strength due to the formation of a metallurgical bond, high carbide content, and almost no dilution with the base metal.
  • Cost-effective for small parts

 

Features & Benefits

Wear resistant surface layer with up to 70% volume carbide loading
  • Provides wear resistance with high contour definition
  • Extends service life of components
High final hardness > 63 HRC / 820 HV (may be much higher depending on the type of coating)
  • Hard surface layer protects the quality of the component
Highly engineered bonding and brazing system
  • Results in a diffusion layer with strong metallurgical bond to the substrate
Well suited for complex geometries and applications
  • Satisfies requirements of edge retention and resistance to abrasive and erosive wear
