Laser clad layer Sinex

Sinex is a high-performance laser clad layer designed to offer moderate wear and corrosion resistance, meeting the demands of various industries. It delivers the same technical functionalities as 316L stainless steel, but as a more cost-effective solution.

Sinex as perfect alternative

Sinex ensures long-lasting protection for critical machinery components like piston rods, rollers and drums, enhancing equipment durability and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Its unique alloy composition makes it a perfect alternative to stainless steel, providing similar performance while significantly reducing material costs.

Benefits of Sinex

Sinex delivers a broad range of benefits, particularly for industries where wear resistance and corrosion protection are crucial. Key benefits include:

  • Corrosion resistance
    Sinex offers robust protection against corrosive elements, making it highly effective in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater is frequent.
  • Wear protection
    Sinex excels in providing wear resistance, ensuring that critical machinery components experience minimal wear, prolonging operational life.
  • Cost-effective
    Sinex, when combined with common carbon steel or high-yield steel, offers the same level of protection as alternatives like solid stainless steel 316 or Duplex components, but at a much lower cost.
  • Versatility
    Suitable for a wide variety of components, including piston rods, rollers, and drums, Sinex delivers reliability across diverse industrial applications.

Why choose Sinex over stainless steel?

Sinex offers a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to stainless steel (316L), making it the go-to solution for industries that require strong corrosion and wear protection without the high costs associated with stainless steel.

With its superior durability and resistance to thermal and mechanical stress, Sinex is ideal for critical components such as piston rods, rollers, and drums. By choosing Sinex, industries can significantly reduce material expenses while maintaining the high-quality performance that stainless steel provides.

Real-world applications of Sinex

Sinex is widely used in applications where equipment operates in corrosive environments and is subject to continuous mechanical stress. Typical components such as piston rods, rollers, and drums benefit from Sinex’s enhanced wear and corrosion resistance. Whether for new equipment or repairs, Sinex ensures these parts maintain their operational integrity for longer, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacements.
