Surface coating - steels and metals - Import export

Hardfacing Powders are manufactured to have the precise size, shape, and chemistry required for optimal thermal spraying characteristics. Our powders are available in a wide variety of alloys to give the workpiece desired finished qualities - whether it’s good machinability, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, ductility, hardness, or high strength. No matter the application, we have a powder that can be manufactured to your exact specifications and meet your coating needs.

Hardfacing Process Hardfacing or surface coating is a process of spraying or welding metallic powders onto a workpiece or substrate to give it a specific hardness, wear resistance, or corrosion resistance. This process requires the appropriate alloy and particle size distribution for a specific deposition technology. Appropriately selected powders yield the best properties and manufacturing efficiencies.

In recent years, as Powder Metallurgy (P/M) Stainless Steels have become more prevalent in numerous markets, AMETEK has invested in production capability and technology stainless steel powders. Among the results of these efforts are AMETEK’s patented Ultra Stainless Steels™ which are produced by alloying conventional austenitic compositions with a small amount of tin and copper. This combination of metals results in a marked improvement in corrosion resistance when compared to typical austenitic P/M parts while maintaining mechanical properties.
