Weartech International Ltd - Wear-Resistant Cobalt Hardfacing Alloys, Hardfacing

We are one of the world's foremost producers of cobalt- and nickel-based hardfacing and wear-resistant alloys.

We can offer a wide range of hardfacing products and components to many different industries including:

• Oil and gas industry
• Petrochemical industry
• Timber industry
• Power generation industry
• Metal forming industry
• Automotive industry
• Marine valves industry
• Steel mill and galvanising industry

We produce the complete range of industry standard wear-resistant cobalt hardfacing alloys. We often produce custom made alloys as well.

The standard wear-resistant cobalt hardfacing alloys available are:

• Continuous cast rods for TIG and oxy-acetylene welding - diameters from 2.4mm to 10mm
• Densified rods for saw tipping - diameters from 3.2mm to 8mm
• Continuous cast rods for electrode manufacture - diameters from 2.4mm to 5.0mm with strict dimensional tolerances
• Electrodes for manual welding - diameters from 2.5mm to 4.0mm
• Flux cored wire for MIG application - diameters from 1.2mm to 2.4mm
• Solid TIG wire - diameters from 1.2mm to 2.0mm
• Powders for PTA hardfacing - sieve analysis -180/+53 microns
• These alloys conform to AWS A5.21 2001 ERCoCr-A etc

Our foundry uses various casting techniques to produce components for a wide range of industries:

• Solid cast bars
• Investment cast components
• Centrifugally spun castings
• Typical components produced are valve seats and bodies, sink roll bushes, punches, extrusion discs, and many more

Weartech International's cobalt-base components are produced using a wide range of casting methods.  The most common of these is the centrifugal casting process which produces particularly dense porosity-free components with a uniform grain structure for increased wear-resistance.  We supply components finished to drawing or simply proof-machined if preferred.
