Hardfacing is the deposition of hard wear-resistant materials on to a base metal to give components an efficient hard-wearing surface, resistant to abrasion, erosion, corrosion and heat.
This metalworking process may be applied via a number of different welding techniques to restore or extend the life of worn parts and equipment, as part of a maintenance program or used preemptively on new components. This results in significant savings in production costs and crucially, a reduction in down-time.
This is the main reason hardfacing has become so popular across so many industries.
With well over 35 years expertise of supplying wear parts with Nickel and Cobalt-based coatings for use in the most hostile of environments, we really are THE Hard-Facing specialists.
Utilising many different welding processes, including Tig, Mig, Plasma, Spray and HVOF, we are able to offer hardfacing on a multitude of base materials including (but not limited to) carbon steels, stainless steels and high alloy metals.
Most of our hardfacing work is according to NACE, Norsok and ASME requirements.
Our extensive library of welding procedure approvals (over 100 of them) means we are qualified to undertake critical work for names such as BAE, Siemens, Rolls Royce, Vetco Gray, Statoil, EDF, Flowserve and Sulzer.
