Technical Bulletin Cladding Specifications Cladding Composition (Weight Percentage) Total carbide loading from other carbide formation *Tungsten Carbide (WC) includes cobalt-bonded WC. Cladding Properties **Cladding is a composite of tungsten carbide particles dispersed in a nickel-based alloy matrix. The extremely hard carbide particles, with a Vickers Diamond Pyramid Hardness of about 2000 DPH50g [1865 DPH50g is equivalent to 80 Rockwell C Hardness (HRC)], are surrounded by a two-phase matrix (300-800 DPH50g, equivalent to 30-64 HRC). Because of the heterogeneous structure of the cladding, direct Rockwell hardness measurements are an average of the hard particles and matrix, and are not representative of the individual components of the composite. Engineering Formulas Kennametal Conforma Clad™ has compiled over 30 years of scientific testing to develop three standard tungsten carbide cladding formulas that meet most of your severe wear protection needs. Our standard cladding formulas are designed to protect equipment from multiple modes of wear, including abrasion, erosion, corrosion, or any combination of the three. Kennametal Conforma Clad engineers evaluate individual components and their operating environments in order to recommend a standard cladding formula, or create a custom cladding to meet customer-specific requirements. Our unique infiltration brazing process combines the hardness of tungsten carbide with the corrosion resistance of nickel chrome boron to create a protective barrier with unmatched wear-resistant properties. With a metallurgical bond strength in excess of 70,000 psi, our cladding is extremely resilient to chipping, cracking, and flaking. KENNAMETAL CONFORMA CLAD Cladding Dense tungsten carbide loading with uniform carbide distribution: high wear resistance with predictable wear rates and continuous heat transfer No interconnected porosity: superior corrosion and impact resistance Bond Line True metallurgical bond (>70,000 psi) with high interparticle bond strength: provides unsurpassed strength and prevents chipping, flaking, and check-cracking Diffusion Zone Minimal dilution: substrate retains uniform properties in diffusion zone Substrate Heat treatable: can be heat-treated after cladding process to restore substrate's mechanical properties
