CermaClad™ patented nanocomposite cermet materials are developed using inexpensive ceramic fillers and stabilizers to offset the use of expensive alloy and metal powders. MesoCoat’s patented manufacturing process, in which nanostructured materials are placed in a meso structured arrangement, ensures that the use of ceramic fillers and stabilizers does not degrade the protective properties of the alloy materials. The result is that CermaClad™ coating materials provide exceptional levels of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, insulation, and hydrogen embrittlement resistance. Moreover, the structured arrangement and refined grain size offer improved wetting to enable pinhole free smooth coatings, better flow and viscosity, better deposition efficiency, and forms a true metallurgical bond.
Value Proposition
Longer Life
- The structure of materials along with the composition offers high hardness and toughness, controlled flow, viscosity, and wetting of cladding to enable pinhole free and smooth coatings.
- Refined grain size offers superior corrosion, wear and erosion resistance.
Low Cost Filler Materials
- Filler materials are substituted for 20% of expensive alloy materials, thus reducing the cost of these materials by approximately 15% on a weight basis.
- The unique structure of these filler materials enables enhanced level of protection.
Lower Density/High Volume
- CermaClad™ is substantially less dense than traditional cladding materials, allowing it to clad more surface area per pound of material.
- There is 3X more volume of powder on a pound to pound basis compared to currently available cladding materials.
Reduced Wastage
- The unique mesostructure and low ductility of CermaClad™ ensures better bonding with surface, and near 100% deposition of materials (compared to 50-60% deposition efficiency of currently used cladding materials), which reduces/eliminates wastage and generates material savings of 25%.
