Conforma Clad Technology
Conforma Clad can help you reduce the risk of boiler tube leaks by protecting your replacement boiler tube segments from severe wear. Our cladding withstands the extremes of thermal shock, erosion, abrasion, corrosion and impact — and because our application process creates a true metallurgical bond, it is not subject to chipping and spalling.

 

Custom Boiler Tube Solutions

Conforma Clad will work closely with you to develop a wear solution for your boiler tubes. In addition, our brazed tungsten carbide wear protection can be applied to a variety of industrial components that are affected by abrasion, corrosion and erosion. Our team of application and material engineers is available to evaluate your application and recommend a cost effective
solution today.

We will need the following information to process your quotation:

  • Component drawing or the actual component, along with dimensions (length, width, height, OD, ID)
  • Substrate or material type. If a casting is involved, please provide material composition.
  • Type (abrasive, corrosive, erosive) and location of wear
  • Current wear protection
  • Explanation of the application, including operating conditions (temperature, pressure, chemical resistance, flow rates, etc.)
  • Material requirements (hardness, surface finish, tensile strength)
  • Quantity required, including annual unit volumes
