Heavy-Wear Thermal Spray Materials for Farming Machinery

For the agricultural industry, tungsten carbide, chrome oxide, and other wear-resistant carbide thermal spray powders are especially effective to combat corrosion, prevent wear and tear and extend the service life of parts.

Tungsten Carbide Powders

Tungsten carbide powders are commonly used in applications involving sliding wear erosion, impingement, abrasion, and fretting wear while providing low-temperature wear properties. Applying a tungsten carbide thermal spray powder creates a dense, hard, and tough coating.

Chromium Oxide Spray Powders

Chrome Oxide Powders are used in wear-resistant applications due to resistance to abrasion, corrosion, oxidation, fretting, and erosion. They also employ high resistance to acidic and caustic solutions. Typical applications include shafts, pump parts, seals, and capstans.

Chromium Carbide Powders

Chromium carbide powders provide a dense, well-bonded, resilient coating well suited to handle fretting and abrasive wear. These coatings withstand high temperatures – up to 1500 degrees – and resist corrosion and oxidation.

FAQs

Which agricultural components benefit most from carbide thermal spray coatings?

Carbide thermal spray powders supplied by Astro Alloys can be used for harvester blades, pumps, threshers, irrigation components, compressors, and other agricultural parts exposed to significant wear and abrasion.

What factors determine the best thermal spray powder for farm equipment?

Astro Alloys helps customers evaluate factors such as wear mechanisms, corrosion exposure, substrate material, impact loading, and operating environment when selecting thermal spray powders for agricultural equipment applications.

Can thermal spray coatings reduce maintenance costs for farming equipment?

Properly selected thermal spray materials can minimize wear and corrosion on agricultural components, helping extend maintenance intervals and reduce the frequency and cost of component replacement.

Why are tungsten carbide coatings commonly used in agriculture?

Tungsten carbide thermal spray powders provide excellent abrasion resistance for agricultural equipment operating around soil, sand, fertilizer, and other abrasive materials, making them well suited for demanding high-wear applications.
