Conforma Clad WC 219 Tungsten Carbide-Nickel Cladding

Conforma Clad is a targeted wear solution applied to vulnerable surfaces of a component. The wear protection is delivered via a proprietary cloth or slurry, ranging from 0.020" to 0.120" thick.If applied by the cloth system: The cloth is heavily loaded with WC particles held together by a binder. The cloth is adhered to the substrate and is overlayered with a brazing cloth of filler material. The component is then placed in a vacuum furnace where the brazing material melts and infiltrates the WC cloth.If applied by the slurry system: The component is also vacuum brazed. It is well suited for complex shapes.The result from either delivery system is a surface that is metallurgically bonded to the substrate, extremely durable, and is highly resistant to erosion, abrasion, and corrosion. Uses include coatings for plastics processing equipment.Information provided by Conforma Clad, a Kennametal Company.Composition Notes: WC includes cobalt-bonded WC. Total carbide loading from other carbide formation is 62%.
