Hard alloys

In addition to "pure" hard alloys, we also offer powder mixtures for build-up welding and thermal spraying. One example of this is our SuperDur WC-P material, which contains up to 60% by weight of fused tungsten carbide (WSC). This addition results in exceptional resistance to coarse mineral wear.

Overall, hard alloys are of great importance in modern industries due to their unique properties and wide range of applications. Their ability to withstand high loads while maintaining sharpness, stability and durability makes them indispensable materials in demanding environments.

The outstanding properties of hard alloys are based on the combination of carbides with a metal matrix. The carbides are responsible for the hardness and wear resistance, while the metal matrix provides additional properties such as corrosion resistance. This synergy enables hard alloys to withstand high loads without losing sharpness or stability. Hard alloys are produced in various forms, including powder. This powder can be applied to substrate surfaces using build-up welding or spraying processes. This makes it possible to optimise tool surfaces specifically and locally in order to achieve maximum service life.

The advantages of hard alloys are impressive: they are extremely durable, resistant to wear and able to work even under demanding conditions. The longer service life and maintenance-free nature of components lead to improved productivity and cost efficiency. Hard alloys are indispensable in various industries due to their exceptional hardness, wear resistance and toughness. They are used in a range of applications from tools and wear parts to complex components operating in challenging environments.
