Nickel Bronze Brazing Rod

High strength UTS of 80,000 PSI, work hardening up to 100,000 PSI
Securely holds tungsten carbide whilst cushioning from shocks
High fluidity allows for ease of flow
Flux coated rods available

Nickel Bronze brazing alloy is for use in laying inserts on heavy duty cutting mills or when laying a composite rod. It’s a high strength 10% nickel alloy, with a UTS of 80,000 PSI (avg) with a potential to work harden up to 100,000 PSI, making it well suited to this application. Our brazing rods are available in a range of sizes, and in both standard and flux coated finishes.

Metal Spray Powder

Designed to produce reliable bonds with tungsten carbide and TSP Xtreme
Available with a blend of fused tungsten carbide
Available in non-magnetic grades
A range of hardness options available, from 20 to 60 HRC

Cutting & Wear offer a range of nickel based metal spray powder principally used for bonding tungsten carbide wear protection inserts to tools, often in association with the QuickTip system and process. A variety of grades area available, including grades that incorporate fused tungsten carbide, and non-magnetic grades for use with our CW60 inserts for non-magnetic applications.

Tungsten Carbide Grit

Steel cutting grade carbide
Available in a range of sizes, from 30-40 mesh to 1/4″
Suitable for a wide variety of applications

Our tungsten carbide grit is manufactured using high quality steel cutting grade carbide. In processing it is sized from 30-40 mesh all the way through to 1/2″ and can be blended to accommodate a wide variety of needs and applications. This grit is suitable for a wide range of industries such as oil & gas, agriculture, construction and many more.

Grinding Wheels

Specifically engineered for grinding various types of hardfacing
Cut efficiently whilst offering good wheel life
Available in sizes from 1-5/8” to 36” OD

Cutting & Wear’s range of grinding wheels have been developed over many years for grinding tungsten carbide on drilling tools. Our universal grade is suitable for grinding most types of hardfacing, however we can offer a range of grades, including diamond grinding wheels, to suit your requirements.

Brazing Flux

Cleans the surface to improve bond
Water Soluble options available to make a paste

Brazing Flux cleans the surface of steel in order to improve the bond with tungsten carbide based products. We can supply in both 12 mesh and 30 mesh. Also available is Pink Flux, a water soluble powder which is mixed to a paste, used when applying flux to tools at room temperature before heating.

Flexicoy

Deposited to form a tough wear resistance surface
Good corrosion resistance
Easy and economical application

Flexicoy has a pure nickel core surrounded by a thick coating consisting of an alloy matrix and fused tungsten carbide. When deposited together it forms a tough wear resistant surface. Flexicoy is available in a range of sizes for components subject to high levels of wear, such as stabiliser blades.
