HARDFACING POWDERS
ADVANTAGES OF POWDERS
HIGH-PERFORMANCE WEAR PROTECTION
BMI powders enable the production of coatings resistant to abrasion, erosion and corrosion, extending the service life of industrial components.
They allow:
- restoration of worn component dimensions,
- protection of surfaces subjected to abrasion or erosion,
- significant extension of equipment service life.
WIDE HARDNESS RANGE
The range covers hardness levels from 16 to 60 HRC, allowing the deposit to be adapted to wear conditions and mechanical constraints.
COMPATIBILITY WITH MULTIPLE PROCESSES
The powders can be applied using different spraying or hardfacing techniques:
- Flame spraying
- Arc spray
- Plasma arc
Used as a bonding layer before hardfacing with our FlexCarb cords.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
BMI hardfacing powders are used for the protection and repair of heavily stressed components, particularly in the following sectors:
- mines and quarries
- cement plants and mineral industries
- brickworks and ceramics
- steel industry and foundries
- paper mills and processing industries
BMI offers a range of hardfacing and thermal spraying powders designed for the protection and repair of industrial components subjected to abrasion, erosion or corrosion.
Developed on a nickel base with tungsten carbides, BMI powders provide precise granulometry control and high metallurgical purity, ensuring homogeneous deposits and durable performance.
Available in different compositions and hardness levels, they allow the coating to be adapted to the wear constraints encountered.
the range
Nickel-based powders are designed for the production of metallic coatings resistant to wear, corrosion and thermal constraints.
Thanks to their self-fluxing matrix, they ensure excellent wettability, good adhesion to the base metal and homogeneous remelting, resulting in dense and reliable deposits.
These powders are used for:
- preventive protection of new parts,
- repair and restoration of worn components,
- production of underlayers prior to anti-abrasion hardfacing.
They offer a wide hardness range (~16 to 60 HRC), allowing the deposit to be adapted to mechanical constraints and the working environment.
NiCrBSi powders
Tungsten carbide (WC)-enriched powders combine a tough metallic matrix with extremely hard carbide particles.
This structure enables the production of coatings highly effective against:
- mineral abrasion
- particle flow erosion
- intensive friction wear
The carbide content can reach up to 60%, significantly enhancing wear resistance in the most demanding environments.
