Cost-effectively create new surfaces with value-added benefits or restore components to like-new condition. Our broad and versatile portfolio of metal alloy, composite and blended materials are used by thousands of companies in a wide range of industries.
A Versatile Range of Applications
Our materials deliver solutions that restore worn or mismachined parts or create new surfaces with characteristics better suited for the service environment than the substrate. Many of these coating materials are used alone, while others act as a bond coat in a thermal‑sprayed coating system. Yet other materials are used for conductive filler materials used in gaskets and other shielding applications for electronics, or world-class additive manufacturing powders for 3D metal printing.
Typical Uses
- Corrosion and oxidation resistance
- Thermal conductivity
- Electrical conductivity
- EMI and RFI shielding
- Wear and erosion resistance
- Restoration and repair of worn and damaged surfaces and features
- Bond coats for other thermal-sprayed coatings
- Additive manufacturing
Optimized Manufacturing
Our portfolio is built on manufacturing expertise and product reliability. We strictly control product chemistries and particle size distributions for optimum performance. Particle size distributions are matched to specific application processes. We ensure a consistent, high-quality product through our expertise in a variety of manufacturing processes, such as inert gas atomization, mechanical cladding, hydrometallurgy and more. Oerlikon Metco’s metallic materials are approved by leading OEMs worldwide. Customers specify our products more than of any other company.
