Tungsten Carbide Hardfacing
Tungsten carbide wires, electrodes and powders used for hardfacing to combat high abrasion
Tungsten carbide hardfacing has the highest level of abrasion resistance available. The high level of abrasion resistance is offset by lower impact resistance than other types of hardfacing. Alloys International are able to provide advise on the correct material for your application. We stock a large range of different types of material, including MIG wire, open arc wire, electrodes, TIG rods (GTAW) and Laser and PTAW powders at our warehouses in Melbourne, Perth and Queensland.

| AI-0779B-TDS | AI-0779B is a tubular oxy-acetylene surfacing rod, filled with ultra-hard fused cast tungsten carbide particles and a special nickel, chrome, boron matrix. The fused cast tungsten carbide particles are produced with a new and unique patented melting process, which makes them the most wear resistant tungsten carbides available today. The fused cast carbides exhibit an extremely fine acicular, needle like structure (as high as 95%) and a very constant hardness, yet are more ductile than crushed cast carbide or mono-crystalline carbide. The hardness is up to 33% higher than any other carbide and bulk density is 10-20% higher. The above features result in a product, which provides significant increases in wear resistance of the welded deposit. The alloy is specially designed for applications involving extreme abrasion and erosion in combination with corrosion. The matrix material is highly resistant to acids, lyes and other corrosive media. AI-0779B can be overlaid onto mild steels, low alloys steels, steel castings, nickel based and stainless alloys.

| AI-0799-TDS | AI-0799 is an alloy comprising a macroscopic heterogenous deposit consisting of cast tungsten carbide particles in matrix of Ni, Cr, B, and Si. The matrix comprises a nickel base solid solution with a fine boride dispersion and a small number of carbides in an interdendritic network. AI-0799 provides the ultimate in wear resistance to high stress, fine particle abrasion on components operating at high pressures, with some temperature and corrosion. AI-0799 is applied by the Oxy-Acetylene process as the lower application temperature results in less disolution of the Carbides than an arc process. A major advantage of AI-0799 (apart from its excellent abrasion resistance) is that once it is applied to a component and that component is removed from service AI-0799 can be re-applied over the top of the remaining deposit to touch up areas of wear, thus significantly reducing the cost of re-surfacing. This is a major benefit over other types of hardfacing where, in most cases, the old material has to be completely removed. |
| AI-0799SP-TDS | AI-0799SP is a flexible oxy-acetylene surfacing rod, combining ultra-hard spherical cast tungsten carbide particles and a special nickel, chrome, boron matrix. The alloy is specially designed for applications involving extreme abrasion and erosion in combination with corrosion. The matrix material is highly resistant to acids, lyes and other corrosive media. AI-0799SP can be overlaid onto mild steels, low alloys steels, steel castings, nickel based and stainless alloys. |
| AI-0799SP70-TDS | AI-0799SP70 is an alloy specially developed and released in 1998 after successful field trials to combat the combined effects of fine particle abrasion and erosion as experienced in the mineral sands industry and other areas where wet slurries are pumped. The unique qualities of this product lie in the high concentration (70% by weight) and sizing of cast tungsten carbide grains. A carefully blended mix of Coarse, Medium and Fine carbides work together to offer good impact resistance and large particle abrasion resistance from the coarse carbides, a hard matrix and protection from fine particle abrasion from the fine carbides and a balance between the two offered by the medium carbides. AI-0799SP70 provides the ultimate in wear resistance to fine particle abrasion combined with some impact. It is applied by the Oxy-Acetylene process. The lower application temperature results in less dissolution of the Carbides than an arc process. Applications include: can be re-applied over the top of an existing deposit to touch up areas of wear, thus significantly reducing the cost of re-surfacing. This is a major benefit over other types of hardfacing where, in most cases, the old material has to be completely removed. |
OPEN ARC WIRE |
|
| AI-1541-TDS | AI-1541 is an open arc tubular wire filled with 40% fused tungsten carbide (FTC) and up to 10% of special refractory carbides for semiautomatic application, where extreme abrasive wear is encountered. On low alloyed steels that have a maximum of 0.45% carbon, the overlay is crack-free or low crack. A higher carbon content may lead to a small degree of relief checking. For hard-facing and repairing tool joints and other drilling and mining parts exposed to extreme wear. A high-performance, yet economical alternative to AI-1779. Applications include: Tunnelling shields, road construction, drilling, geothermal well exploration, excavation, brick making. |
| AI-1542VC-TDS | AI-1542VC is an open arc tubular wire filled with a mild steel matrix infused with 7% Vanadium and 19% Chromium (especially hard heat and corrosive-resistant refractory carbides) [1800-2900HV0,2] forming a stable, dense, highly scratch-resistant matrix of iron-chromium, vanadium complex carbides binding 40% Fused Tungsten Carbide (FTC). Use where extreme abrasive wear is encountered in combination with high corrosion. Produces a silvery relief-checked surface when applied to low carbon substrates of <0,45% carbon (a higher carbon content may lead to an increased degree of relief checking). Provides protection against high abrasion, moderate impact in corrosive media. Perfect for all areas of critical importance such as oil-well (HW) drill pipe, downhole stabilisers, hole-opener shoulders and all types other drilling and mining, crushing, boring and tunnelling parts. There is no need to pre-heat base metal although some alloys benefit from a pre-heat of between 150-350°C. It is highly recommended that the voltage and welding current are kept on the lowest possible settings to preserve the integrity of the tungsten carbide granules. During welding, the short arc should be activated such that the weld metal is deposited thickly and smoothly to ensure the tungsten granules are evenly distributed throughout the weld bead. If weld parameters are set too high, the deposit will be too liquid, allowing the tungsten granules to sink to the bottom. Applications include: Mining, excavation, earth moving, geothermal well drilling and deep oil and gas drilling, tunnelling shields, road construction etc. |
