Tungsten Carbide Coating

Tungsten carbide coating is a thermal spray layer of tungsten carbide particles in a metal binder, applied by HVOF to give a steel part a very hard, dense surface that resists abrasion, erosion and corrosion. Ultraweld Coat applies it in Pune to valve trim, pump parts and rolls.

Ultraweld Coat the best Tungsten Carbide Coating Service Providers in Pune. As top Tungsten Carbide Coating Service Providers, we are offering advanced coatings services which will produce high quality performance in your industrial operations. By limiting the temperature of the pipeline, valves, and studs for approximately an hour, flange guards are specialized items designed to prevent external fires in hydrocarbon fluid pipe lines and valves and to safeguard personnel escaping from a potential fire area to a safe position.

Benefits Of Tungsten Carbide Coating :

Corrosion Resistance

Provides reliable protection against aggressive corrosive elements and sour environments.

High Wear Resistance

Extremely hard surfaces that protect parts from severe abrasive wear and erosion.

Low Porosity

High-density coatings that form an impermeable seal against fluid penetration.

Low Residual Stress

Optimized coating structure to prevent delamination and ensure long service life.

Strong Bond Strength

Exceptional adhesion properties, keeping coatings intact under high impact loads.

As a Pune’s top Tungsten Carbide Coating Service Providers, our coatings are corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, low porosity, low residual stress, and strong bond strength. By regulating the tungsten carbide particles’ volume in relation to cobalt and their grain size, HVOF tungsten carbide coatings offer the particular characteristics required for a certain application.

For your application, Ultraweld Coat can select the optimal powdered feedstock. As a top Tungsten Carbide Coating Service Providers, we provide HVOF thermal spray rooms with ample space for a variety of parts, turning capabilities, and equipment kinds. Thermal spray coatings containing tungsten carbide are commonly utilized in various paper production processes, steel and metal production, power generation, oil and gas, and engineering industries. Find the best Tungsten Carbide Coating Services and get perfect solutions to your industrial coating operations.

Tungsten carbide coating grades

GradeStrengthTypical use
Tungsten carbide cobaltHighest wear resistanceDry or mildly corrosive abrasion and sliding wear
Tungsten carbide cobalt chromeWear resistance with better corrosion resistanceWet service: valve trim, pump sleeves, hydraulic rods
Tungsten carbide nickel chromeBest corrosion resistance of the threeCorrosive process fluids and seawater

Tungsten carbide coatings are used up to moderate temperatures. For hot service, chromium carbide nickel chrome is the usual substitute.

An alternative to hard chrome plating

HVOF tungsten carbide is harder and denser than hard chrome plating, wears more slowly and avoids the hexavalent chromium used in plating baths. It is now the common choice for rods, plungers and rolls that were once chrome plated.

Typical components

  • Balls, seats and gates of metal seated valves
  • Pump sleeves, plungers, wear rings and progressive cavity pump rotors (see pump and valve coating)
  • Rolls for steel, paper and film lines
  • Hydro turbine components exposed to silt

Finishing a carbide coating

The coating is too hard for conventional cutting tools, so it is finished with diamond wheels in our grinding shop, and sealing faces are lapped. The thickness is set so that the specified coating remains after grinding.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Tungsten Carbide Coating

What is tungsten carbide coating?

Tungsten carbide coating is a highly durable surface treatment applied to various substrates to improve wear resistance, hardness, and corrosion resistance. It consists of tungsten carbide particles embedded in a metallic binder, often applied using thermal spray techniques.

What materials can be coated with tungsten carbide?

Tungsten carbide can be applied by HVOF to most metals, including carbon and alloy steels, stainless steel and nickel-based superalloys. The surface is grit blasted first. Suitability also depends on the shape of the part, because the spray needs line-of-sight access to the surface.

How does tungsten carbide coating compare to other coatings?

Tungsten carbide coatings are known for their superior hardness and wear resistance compared to many other coatings like chromium carbide or ceramic coatings. They are particularly effective in applications involving severe abrasion and high temperatures.

Can tungsten carbide coatings be repaired or replaced?

Yes. A worn or damaged tungsten carbide coating can usually be stripped and the part re-coated and re-ground, provided the base metal is in good condition. Re-coating restores the original dimensions and extends the service life of the component.
