With the BrazeCoat® S -Process the surfaces of components are protected against severe wear by depositing a carbide / hardfacing alloy suspension, which is heat treated in a furnace. The thickness of the resulting layers can be adjusted between 0,05 mm (0.002 in.) and 0,5 mm (0.02 in.).

The coatings are well bonded and show a low porosity (<1%). The surface as coated is very smooth, and for most applications final machining can be avoided. Due to the high carbide content of the coating layer, hardness values of over 65 HRC are obtained.
 

Wear tests, under laboratory conditions as with components under service conditions in the field, showed improved resistance against abrasive wear over nitrided, borided or thermally sprayed layers.

The BrazeCoat® S-Process has been applied successfully to protect fan blower disks, housings and mill rotors, hydraulic cylinders or plungers and piston rods in hydraulic and pneumatic application, where a severe wear attack is combined with the requirement for narrow tolerances.
