Tungsten Hardfacing
Duroweld increases the life span of hardwearing parts by up to 800% by applying tungsten to areas that are subject to impact and abrasion - resulting in less downtime and increased productivity.
Parts and equipment are worn down by constant abrasion, impact and erosion. This causes hundreds of tons of material to be lost and reduces productivity that can never be recovered. Creating large expenses for companies in the recovery or replacement of these wear prone parts
Tungsten Hardfacing is the Ultimate in Wear Protection
Advantages of Hardfacing
Industries Affected by Wear
Mining and Construction Equipment - Shovel and bucket wear parts, drilling parts
Highway and Road Construction Equipment
Trenching Equipment
Processing Equipment - Mixing blades
Dredging Equipment - Cutter heads and teeth, mixing, blending shredding, dredging teeth, mixing blades, hammers
Recycling Equipment - Hammers and other wear parts
Processing Equipment - Drilling tools and equipment
Agricultural Parts
How it works
LONGER SERVICE LIFE - Fewer replacement parts are needed when parts of hardfaced with Tungsten Carbide.
HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY - Upon improving wear life with hardfacing, this contributes to the equipment working and producing more per hour. This increases the productivity and therefore your profits. Improve productivity by keeping wear parts sharp and maintaining physical dimension tolerances.
LESS DOWNTIME - Greater Availability of Machine Time - A longer service life means that you will spend less time replacing the tips. This contributes to a reduction in total operating costs.
Metered Tungsten Carbide particles are delivered to a molten weld pool at precisely the right moment prior to the puddle freezing. The result is a 60Rc tool steel matrix weld deposit filled with Tungsten Carbide grit.
Recent production demands on parts and equipment have dictated a harder, ore wear resistant solution. Hardfacing with Tungsten Carbide offers 4 to 8 times better wear life than typical hardfacing alloys and can be deposited at 1/3 the cost of tungsten hardfacing wires.
