Metal Coating Spray Products

Tungsten carbide coatings, applied via HVOF spraying, are widely regarded as the most durable metal coatings for demanding industrial applications. They offer exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection, outperforming standard nickel chrome or ceramic coatings in high-stress environments like wire drawing, fracking plungers, and heavy machinery components.

Parkway-Kew offers a full range of coating technologies, including HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, submerged arc welding, and fuse welding. Each process is matched to the specific application, material, and performance requirements, from wire drawing blocks to fracking plungers and heavy industrial pulleys, ensuring optimal wear resistance and longevity.

Coating lifespan varies by application, material, and operating conditions, but Parkway-Kew's proprietary Restore & Grind process allows 5-7 cost-effective repairs before a full recoating is needed. This significantly extends the usable life of components like wire drawing blocks compared to standard recoating schedules alone.

Yes. Coatings such as nickel chrome, tungsten carbide, and chrome oxide ceramic are specifically formulated to resist corrosion in harsh industrial settings, including oil and gas fracking operations, marine shipping terminals, and heavy equipment applications, while also providing superior wear resistance against abrasion and mechanical stress.

Industries with high-wear, high-friction components benefit most, including oil and gas (fracking plungers), wire mills (drawing blocks and capstans), shipping terminals (festoon wheels), and heavy equipment manufacturing (rope pulleys). These sectors rely on coatings to reduce downtime and extend component service life significantly.

The right coating depends on the material being processed, operating environment, and wear mechanisms involved. Parkway-Kew's engineers evaluate factors like concentricity tolerances, corrosion exposure, and load conditions to recommend the optimal coating, whether HVOF tungsten carbide, plasma ceramic, or submerged arc alloy, for your specific application.
