Red Deer, AB - Manufacturing Reciprocating Pumps -> Spray Welding

Induction fused powder flame spray process
Metco 6P-II Thermo spray system
Manual spray system for large OD plungers
Manufacture Q-Hard plungers, Spray Metal valve rods, pull tubes, polish rods (up to 36’ in length) as well as other products
All product is shot blasted prior to spray welding to a clean surface area for bond integrity
Nickel based powder containing borides, carbides and silicon
Fed via Nitrogen from the hopper into Oxyacetylene fuel gas combustion flames, melted and projected by the gas stream onto the product
High frequency coils fuse the powder at 1900°F to 2000°F immediately following spray welding to ensure a crack free surface.
Plungers greater than 3.25” are hand sprayed and oxyacetylene flame fused
End result is a clean almost fully dense coating (no porosity or inclusions)
Typical hardness is greater than 60HRC (Standard Spray) and upgraded Tungsten hardness of greater than 65HRC
