Borocarbide Phase Scales Promote a Uniform Wear Rate

The large scale of 65% angular or 60% spherical tungsten carbide particles can lead to preferential wear of the matrix and cracking/pull-out of the hard tungsten carbide particulates.

SHS 9290 PTAW deposits feaure complex borocarbide phase scales which are much finer than angular tungsten carbide and spherical tungsten carbide deposits, and also promote a highly uniform wear rate throughout the volume of the SHS 9290 PTAW deposit.
