Anti-Wear Coatings Becomes A Great Investment To Reduce Costs

According to some research reports, it is estimated that 25% of all energy consumed in the world is wasted due to wear. Terrible, isn’t it? This includes the natural loss of friction between parts of mechanical systems and repair/maintenance of equipment damaged by wear.

Therefore, to reduce costs becomes part of the action plans of industry managers. With the reduction of demands, the reduction of costs became a focus of action. The companies bear the costs caused by the wear of parts and the downtime. 

Experiments show that the application of special coatings is an excellent alternative for cost reduction. The coated pieces have a more noble and resistant surface to enhance the anti-wear ability. The result is a drastic reduction in the exchange of parts, reduction of machine downtimes, reduction of inventories and consequently reduction of transport costs. 

The wear applications are quite wide. They have excellent wear resistance against abrasion, corrosion and erosion. Currently the most used alloys are the Carbides of Chromium and Tungsten Carbide; however, several other materials can be applied, such as: Stainless Steel, Zinc, Aluminum, Inconel, Stellite, and others. 

The coatings can be applied to any metal surface, ferrous or otherwise. Some examples of use: 

1 - Pump shafts

2 - Sliding Bearings

3 - Helical Pumps Rotors

4 - Ball Valves, Butterfly Valves, Drawer Valves and Globe Valves

4 - Exhaust Fan Rotors

5 - Rotors of Kaplan, Pelton and Francis Turbines plus other Hydropower parts

In all of these examples the gains are greater than 300% increase in service life. 

Anti-wear Coatings is a technique of extreme importance for emerging countries, such as China, India, Brazil, Russia, Mexico and etc. And the Hard-facing technology has become indispensable today in different industrials, like Mining, Manufacture, Aerospace, Oil&Gas, Agriculture and so on. Xiamen Tungsten Corp(XTC)-Luoyang Branch provides different wear resistant solutions to our customers in different fields. For example, WC-12Co(wear), WC-10Co-4Cr(Wear & Corrosion), WC-17Co(wear), WC-Ni(Wear & Corrosion), WC-CrC-Ni(Wear & Corrosion) and etc.
