Uses for carbide wafers

One effective method of increasing wear resistance is the use of carbide wafers. These hard and abrasion-resistant materials are applied to critical areas of the part that are subject to the greatest stress. Carbide plates significantly increase surface hardness and resistance to abrasive wear, thereby extending the life of the entire part.

Hard-welding technology

Another option is to use the "hard welding" technology, in which a highly resistant material is welded to the loaded areas of the part. This method is suitable for repairing worn parts or increasing the service life of new parts. Hard overlay allows you to create an abrasion-resistant layer with high hardness and wear resistance.

HVOF Abrasion Surface Spraying

HVOF ("High Velocity Oxy-Fuel") technology is a modern method of applying wear-resistant coatings. In this method, the powder form of a material (e.g. carbides, ceramics or alloys) is applied to the surface of the part at high speed and temperature. The result is a highly compact and durable layer that significantly increases the service life of parts exposed to abrasive wear.

Galvanic deposition of a hard chrome layer

Another effective method for increasing the service life of stressed parts is galvanic deposition of a hard chrome layer, which creates a thin but very hard layer of chromium on the surface of the part. This coating provides excellent protection against wear and corrosion, which significantly extends the life of components in harsh operating conditions. Electroplating also improves the sliding properties of the surface, which can contribute to lower friction and better equipment performance.

Cooperation with the technical department

If you want to extend the service life of a machine part and reduce the cost of overhauls and replacements, please contact our technical department. Experts will analyse the operating conditions and stresses on the part and propose the most suitable solution to extend its service life – whether it is the use of carbide wafers, hard facing or HVOF spraying, or a combination of these methods.
