Technology Bulletin X2 cladding uses twin layers of Stellite™ and tungsten carbide, realizing the benefits of both materials. This dual-protection system is designed to protect critical components that are exposed to severe erosion/abrasion and corrosive fluids at the same time. True metallurgical bond between all layers: • Provides unsurpassed strength, preventing chipping, flaking, and spalling. X2 cladding can be applied to: • Complex geometries and challenging shapes. • Nearly all steel/stainless steel components. Top Layer Tungsten Carbide Superior Abrasion Protection The tungsten carbide top layer offers the same wear protection on which Conforma Clad™ built its reputation. Bottom Layer Stellite™ Superior Corrosion Protection The Stellite bottom layer eliminates any access of corrosive fluids to the base material. KENNAMETAL CONFORMA CLAD

Top Layer Abrasion/Erosion Protection Dry Sand Abrasion Test (ASTM G65) Erosion Test (ASTM G76) 45° Impingement Angle, 83 m/s, Alumina <63 micron • Range of tungsten carbide grades available to suit your environment. • A “pure” cladding with consistent wear properties from surface to bond line. The predictable, linear wear rate can be used to forecast component life. • Metallurgical bond — no flaking or spalling. • Significant performance advantage over competing wear materials.
