What's Happening at Oerlikon Metco

Combining breakthrough patented technologies with advanced manufacturing, MetcoXtreme solutions deliver unmatched durability, strength, and ductility—ideal for components facing extreme erosion, abrasion, impact, and thermal shock. These next-generation composites, built on a proprietary tungsten carbide matrix, feature exceptional hardness up to 3000 Hv while maintaining the crack resistance and toughness typically seen only in metals. Whether it's downhole tools in oil & gas, industrial pump components, or high-wear mining equipment, MetcoXtreme provides proven, long-lasting performance with up to 145 times the durability of legacy materials—making it the clear choice when failure is not an option.

This cutting-edge technology offers high-pressure capability, ensuring a consistent suspension without pulsation or sedimentation. It can handle water or ethanol suspensions and feed solid-phase powders of ceramics, metals, alloys, carbides, and cermets. With its maintenance-friendly design, built-in cleaning system, and advanced controller integration, the Metco LSF800 is the ultimate solution for achieving precise and efficient thermal spray operations. If you're ready to enhance your thermal spray processes, the Metco LSF800 is the reliable and efficient solution you've been searching for.

Thermal Spray Coating Services in Dukinfield, UK, has successfully gained customer-specific approval to NORSOK M-630 2020 EDS NHF2 for surfacing “by thermal spraying of Tungsten Carbide”.  NORSOK standards have been developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure adequate safety, value adding and cost effectiveness for petroleum industry developments and operations globally and are as far as possible intended to replace oil company specifications and serve as references in the authorities’ regulations. With this approval, Thermal Spray Coating Services can enhance its offerings to the Oil & Gas market by providing HVOF-applied coatings, meeting the industry's high-quality demands.

Metco 405A is now also approved to Airbus ABS5995 and Rolls-Royce OMAT 3/90 specifications in addition to the Pratt & Whitney PWA 1334 specification recently announced. Metco 405A nickel-aluminum wire is used as a general purpose coating material for restoration of worn or mis-machined components or as a thermal spray bond coat. It is designed for very reproducible feeding and spray processing.

Metco 1602A is designed for improved corrosion resistance where engines are exposed to harsher environments. It is a micro-alloyed Al-Si alloy that is blended with a polyester component to provide substantially improved resistance to corrosion damage.

Metco 601NS-1 is fully interchangeable with Metco 601NS — Our very well-known LPC abradable material for gas turbines. Metco 601NS-1 is manufactured using raw materials from different sources to maintain security of supply.
