Laser clad layer Quarite NR+

Quarite NR+ is an advanced laser-clad layer, developed specifically for industries requiring high-performance corrosion protection along with enhanced wear resistance in extremely challenging environments. Quarite NR+ outperforms traditional coatings, offering unmatched protection in environments impacted by saltwater, aggressive fluids, and gases.
This layer ensures extended equipment life and reduces downtime, making it a reliable choice for critical components used in offshore, bridges & water locks and dredging.

Benefits of Quarite NR+

Quarite NR+ offers outstanding benefits that make it the top choice for demanding industrial applications:

  • Corrosion resistance
    Provides over four times the protection compared to traditional nickel-chrome coatings, delivering superior defence in the most aggressive environments.
  • Wear resistance with ductility
    The unique chemical composition, combined with the laser cladding process and specialized post-treatment, ensures Quarite NR+ is highly resistant to wear, even under extreme conditions, while maintaining excellent ductility. This is especially important for components like long and thin hydraulic rods, where heavy bending may occur. Quarite NR+ resists cracking and peeling, offering long-lasting protection.
  • Thermal shock resilience
    Withstands significant temperature fluctuations without compromising its structural integrity, ensuring consistent performance under thermal stress.
  • Impact resistance
    Its tough coating resists external impacts without cracking or peeling, and repairs are easily performed without disassembly.
  • Cost efficiency
    While offering advanced performance, Quarite NR+ remains a cost-competitive solution, providing long-term operational efficiency with minimal maintenance requirements.

Quarite NR+ vs Traditional Coatings

Quarite NR+ offers far more than 4 times the corrosion resistance of traditional nickel-chrome coatings, ensuring that your equipment performs longer in even the harshest conditions. In saltwater environments, the persistent issue is corrosion, particularly at the exposed ends of hydraulic cylinder rods which are always (partially) exposed, making them prone to severe corrosion.

Traditional coatings such as chrome, HVOF, and ceramic layers often fail in these applications due to the inherent porosity. Due to the lack of protection from an oil film created by the cylinder movements, the pours of traditional layers are not protected, leading to severe corrosion. Unlike these traditional coatings, Quarite NR+’s dense, pore-free structure delivers superior long-term protection at a highly competitive price point.

Quarite NR+ for high corrosive and wear environments

Quarite NR+ is ideal for components in industries such as offshore, dredging, or heavy-duty hydraulic systems that are exposed to both high wear and corrosion. Hydraulic cylinder rods, pump casings, and shafts benefit from the layer’s ability to withstand harsh operational conditions like saltwater and abrasive materials. Quarite NR+’s unique alloy provides enhanced protection from both general corrosion and sub-corrosion, ensuring that critical machinery remains operational for longer periods.

In addition to maintaining the same exceptional corrosion resistance and impact resistance as Quarite NR, the enhanced Quarite NR+ layer distinguishes itself through its higher wear resistance. This makes Quarite NR+ especially suited for applications where both extreme wear and corrosive exposure are constant challenges.
