HyperClad™

HyperClad™

Wear-Con HyperClad™ is a High Performance, Smooth, Chrome Carbide Overlay, welded on mild steel wear plate. The smooth surface has no cracks because it is produced by a proprietary welding process. The overlay structure consists of large primary carbides surrounded by smaller secondary carbides and a matrix of austenite. HyperClad™ has a unique range of characteristics. Impact resistant, abrasion resistant, lower coefficient of friction, along with the ability to withstand temperatures up to 1000°F. Due to the combination of these qualities, HyperClad™ outperforms all other standard chrome carbide overlay lining materials. HyperClad™ increases production time by increasing flow and reducing the frequency of shutdowns. That’s High Performance!

Installation

Wear-Con HyperClad™ can be welded into place with a low hydrogen rod such as AWS spec. 7018 or E70-s on the base metal. A butter pass should consist of a 309/310 stainless steel rod/wire for dissimilar metals. The cover pass at the overlay section should be 60 HRc Hardsurface Rod.HyperClad™ can only be rolled with the chrome carbide to the inside.

Technical Specifications

Wear-Con HyperClad™ High Performance Wear Plate has a 55-62 HRc hardness. It can provide a wear resistance up to 5 times longer than 500 Brinell AR steel.
