Eutectic Canada has just launched its next-generation Gas Atomizer program that enables the company to produce the highest quality Thermal Spray & PTA coating powders in its ISO-9001 certified manufacturing facility in Granby, Quebec.
“The
new gas atomizer reflects our ongoing commitment to bring the latest technology
to our customers. We trust this investment will strengthen our leadership in
both NAFTA and international markets,” says Gordon Roseborough, President and
CEO of Eutectic Canada.
With the evolution of recent technology for Plasma Transferred Arc Welding (PTAW), laserclad coatings and the need to reduce environmental impact when
compared to hard chrome plating, there is an increasing demand for gas-atomized
powders. The gas atomizer will enhance the
development and in-house production of industry leading wear solutions.
Eutectic Canada is now
producing quality metal and metal-matrix powders to provide higher cost
benefits and longer component life cycles. These powders are manufactured using
the latest gas atomization process, producing perfectly spherical particles
that result in high density, porosity-free deposits. The unique alloy properties
require minimal heat input and achieve high deposition rates. The alloy range
includes self-fluxing alloys in Nickel, Cobalt and Copper, as well as metals
and metal alloys to meet ASTM and customer specifications. The gas atomizer has
also a special feature to allow high pressure atomization for fine powder
production.
The unique alloy properties feature reduced heat input with higher
deposition rates. These features provide outstanding benefits:
-
Increased productivity
- Reduced energy, powder and labour costs
- Low dilution and minimal HAZ
- Less part distortion
- Reduced carbide loss and degradation
- Reduced cracking
The refined particle size also guarantees consistent powder quality and
maximum integrity of the coating properties.
These advanced thermal spray powders are engineered for the protection
and restoration of high wear parts and can be used for many applications across
a wide spectrum of industries.
Additional
benefits of buying XHD Powders made in Canada:
- Reduced
costs and risks of buying overseas
- Strict
quality controls guarantee you have the best product in the market
- Decreased
transportation costs and lead time on deliveries
- Improved on-time response
Castolin
Eutectic meets the most demanding applications with a variety of specialized
coating technologies including Spray Fusion, PTAW, Laser cladding and HVOF. The
new gas atomizer now produces superior quality powders for enhanced
optimization of these processes. High load – high wear industries in the oil
& gas, mining, forestry, agriculture, marine, steel and cement sectors can
now benefit from Eutectic Canada’s investment in technology.
Castolin Eutectic is a worldwide leader of application solutions in
maintenance, repair and wear protection with more than 100 years of experience
in welding, brazing and thermal spraying technologies.
