  • Hastelloy coating developed by the HVAF process provides high resistance in various situations
    • Uniform corrosion attack, localized corrosion, stress corrosion and cracking
    • Pitting and crevice corrosion due to chlorides and other halides
    • Oxidizing and non-oxidizing environment
    • Sulphide stress and cracking in an oil field environment
  • Ease in the spraying process
  • Protection against corrosive attack combined with high temperature, abrasion, cavitation and erosion
  • Hastelloy coatings depend on the following characteristics:
    • Porosity
    • Bond Strength
    • Oxidation Levels
  • Hastelloy coatings developed by the HVAF process offer high resistance to uniform corrosion attack, localized corrosion resistance and stress corrosion cracking resistance with the following features
    • Offer resistance to oxidizing and non–oxidizing environments.
    • Easy to spray and wear-resistant in chloride-based solutions. A typical phenomenon occurs in austenitic stainless steel.
  • The high amount of chromium and molybdenum content makes these coatings super resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion attacks in the presence of chlorides and other halides.
  • Resistance to sulphide stress and cracking in an oil field environment.
  • Hastelloy coatings are particularly required in case of corrosive attack combined with high temperature, abrasion, cavitation and erosion.
  • Hastelloy coatings depend on the following characteristics:
    • Porosity
    • Bond Strength
    • Oxidation Levels

Shield of Endurance Impact

  • Hastelloy coatings with the HVAF process offer lower porosity and oxidation as compared to conventional HVOF processes due to much lower process/combustion temperature, faster particle velocity and less oxidation of feedstock materials.
  • Hastelloy coatings sprayed by HVAF and HVOF are well machinable.
  • Hastelloy C coating shows excellent resistance to corrosion in chlorides, reducing acids, hydrogen sulphides and gases containing sulphur oxides.
  • Resistance to elevated temperature and dew point corrosion is well established.
  • Hastelloy coatings have high ductile properties coating allowing welding in the near vicinity of the coatings.
