Metal & Steel Industrial Protective Coatings

HVOF applies coating particles at speeds exceeding Mach 2, creating an extremely dense, low-porosity bond with the base metal. This produces superior hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection compared to conventional thermal spray methods, making it ideal for high-wear components like wire drawing blocks and fracking plungers.

Restore & Grind is Parkway-Kew's proprietary repair method that fills and blends only the worn drawline area of a coated component, seamlessly matching the original coating. This allows 5-7 lower-cost repairs before a full recoating is required, significantly reducing downtime and total lifecycle costs.

Yes. Parkway-Kew offers standard nickel chrome coatings (PK-62) and heavy-duty tungsten carbide coatings (PK-730) for fracking plungers. Their proprietary concentricity-holding finishing process corrects up to .015" of out-of-concentricity, reducing vibration and scoring for smoother, longer-lasting pump performance.

Industries with high-wear, high-friction metal components benefit most, including oil and gas, wire mills, shipping terminals, and heavy equipment manufacturing. Applications range from fracking plungers and wire drawing blocks to festoon wheels and rope pulleys, all requiring extended service life and reduced downtime.

Parkway-Kew's proprietary finishing process can correct up to .015 inches of out-of-concentricity relative to the clamping end of fracking plungers. This precision reduces vibration and scoring during pump operation, resulting in smoother performance and a longer service life for coated components.

Wire drawing blocks and capstans can be coated using HVOF (PK-920, PK-675, PK-700, PK-750), metallizing (PK-400), fuse welding (PK-920, PK-700, PK-675), submerged arc (PK-503, PK-200), and plasma ceramic (PK-1500 Chrome Oxide) — each selected to match wire material and drawing application.
