ESAB Welding and Cutting Products NICKEL-BASED AND COBALT-BASED PTA & LASER CLADDING POWDER 6040 Series

Stoody, an ESAB brand, announced today that it has added a series of new plasma transfer arc (PTA) and laser cladding powders to its growing consumables product offering. Joining Stoody's recently released series of 6040 nickel-based tungsten carbide blends are two new nickel-based powder lines, as well as a new line of cobalt-based Stoodite powders.Suitable for automated PTA hardfacing and laser cladding processes, the Stoody 6040 powder formulations are composed of 60% tungsten carbide and 40% nickel alloy, with a 40 - 45 Rockwell C hardness range. Within the 6040 family, there are three formulations including: 6040-PLC, with standard and crushed eutectic tungsten carbides; 6040-PLS, with spherical tungsten carbides especially well-suited for laser cladding; and 6040-PLM, with macrocyrstalline tungsten carbides. Potential applications include:Petroleum, downhole tooling - stabilizers, bit holders, kick rings, radial bearings;Petroleum, oil sands - ground engaging tools, crusher teeth, screen plates, latch bars, slurry elbows;Mining, ore processing - exhaust fan liners, chutes, wear sleeves, sludge pumps, mixing blades, centrifuges;Cement production - dry cement pumps, classifier blades, coupling shafts, feed screws;Brick making - extruder flights, pug knives, crusher roll blades, dies;Pigment production - dry material pumps, cyclones, micronizers, feed pipes, bag screen impact plates; and,Other - steel mill guide rolls, screw presses, anode paste mixers, pulpers, tunneling cutters.
