Industrial Powder Coating Services for Wear Parts

Industrial Powder Coating Services from Parkway-Kew Corporation focus on functional wear and corrosion protection for heavy-duty machine parts. Unlike decorative powder coating, these coatings are engineered for demanding applications using materials such as tungsten carbide, chrome oxide, ceramics, nickel chrome alloys, aluminum, stainless, and zinc. The goal is longer wear life, reduced changeouts, and improved performance under harsh operating conditions.

Parkway-Kew Corporation works with coating materials including ceramics, tungsten carbide, chrome oxide, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc, and specialized nickel chrome alloys. The right material depends on the part, operating temperature, abrasion level, corrosion exposure, surface finish requirements, and whether the component is used in wire drawing, fracking, shipping crane operations, or other industrial applications.

HVOF coating uses a high-velocity oxygen fuel process that propels alloy powder at extremely high speeds, creating dense, hard, virtually defect-free coatings. It is often chosen when parts require strong wear and corrosion resistance. Parkway-Kew Corporation uses HVOF for coatings such as PK-920, PK-675, PK-700, and PK-750 on wire drawing blocks and process components.

Yes. Parkway-Kew Corporation regularly rebuilds worn industrial parts rather than replacing them outright. Services include wire drawing block hardsurfacing, fracking plunger rebuilding, crane wheel rebuilding, wire rope pulley rebuilding, and urethane coated festoon wheel rebuilding. Depending on the component condition, coating thickness, and wear pattern, rebuilding can restore performance and extend service life cost-effectively.

Parkway-Kew Corporation serves industrial customers across North America, including wire mills, oil and gas fracking companies, shipping terminals, heavy equipment manufacturers, earth-moving equipment operations, and container ship loading and unloading facilities. Many projects involve parts that are shipped to the North Brunswick, NJ facility for coating, rebuilding, grinding, or machining support.

The company’s in-house machining capabilities support large industrial components. Manual turning, CNC turning, and CNC milling can handle parts up to 72 inches in diameter, while large diameter grinding capabilities reach up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length. These capabilities help ensure coated components can be finished to the required operating dimensions.

Turnaround depends on the part size, coating method, required preparation, grinding or machining needs, and whether the component is being rebuilt. Standard business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. For production-critical parts, Parkway-Kew Corporation reviews the application and recommends the most practical coating and finishing plan for dependable results.

The engineering team evaluates the part’s wear pattern, substrate, operating environment, surface finish needs, and cost goals before recommending a coating. Options may include HVOF, plasma spray, thermal spray, metallizing, fuse welding, or sub-arc welding. This application-based approach helps select coatings that balance durability, repairability, finish quality, and long-term value.
