Laser clad layer Quarite N

Quarite N is a versatile and robust laser clad layer renowned for its superior corrosion and thermal resistance. It is designed for a broad range of applications where reliability and lifespan are critical, preventing issues like peeling or cracking. This ensures no loose particles can disrupt your machinery, thereby preventing equipment failures and costly downtimes.

Long-term protection with low TCO

Quarite N offers a cost-effective solution. Offering over four times the corrosion resistance of traditional coatings as well as by being competitively priced against traditional nickel-chrome coatings, Quarite N provides long-term protection at competitive initial costs, with an overall lower cost of ownership. This makes Quarite N an ideal choice for industries focused on both performance and cost-efficiency, particularly in environments demanding high resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure.

Benefits of Quarite N

Quarite N is a cost-effective solution that combines high-performance corrosion resistance with advanced chemical resistance. Its key features include:

  • Corrosion resistance
    Quarite N offers excellent protection, making it ideal for use in environments where corrosion is a significant issue.
  • Chemical resistance
    With its robust structure, Quarite N provides strong resistance against chemicals, ensuring longer operational life for machinery, especially in the food, chemical, and recycling industries. Quarite N resists a large number of acids and lye, which are commonly used in the food industry, making it highly suitable for such environments.
  • Thermal shock resilience
    It can endure fluctuating temperatures, maintaining its integrity under high thermal stress. The secret behind this is the high ductility of this Topclad coating.
  • Impact resistance and easy repair
    In the case of external impacts, Quarite N demonstrates its ductile capabilities, preventing cracks or blisters and hence no corrosion. If repair is needed, it can be done easily on-site without dismantling the equipment.
  • Cost-effectiveness
    Compared to traditional coatings, Quarite N provides better protection while remaining cost-competitive, especially when compared to nickel-chrome platings.

Quarite N vs Traditional Coatings

Quarite N offers at least four times the corrosion resistance of traditional nickel-chrome (NiCr) coatings, significantly improving equipment durability and reducing maintenance costs. This laser clad layer is not only technically superior but also economically competitive, providing strong protection at a competitive price. While NiCr is prone to porosity, sub-corrosion, and peeling, Quarite N’s dense, pore-free structure delivers robust defense in the harshest environments.

Additionally, traditional coatings can lead to oil leaks in hydraulic systems, causing environmental damage, particularly in surface waters, and system malfunctions due to chrome blisters clogging hydraulic valves and filters. Quarite N mitigates these risks, offering long-term protection, making it the optimal choice for industries looking to minimize downtime and achieve a lower total cost of ownership.
