What is a WCO Wear Spool? 

A WCO (Tungsten Carbide Overlay) wear spool is a sacrificial pipe section designed to take on the toughest abrasion in slurry transport systems used across mining, oil sands, and construction industries. By applying a welded tungsten carbide overlay, these spools provide unmatched resistance to wear, extending pipeline service life and keeping operations running with minimal interruptions. 

​

Why Choose CIM’s WCO Wear Spools? 

At Canadian Innovative Materials (CIM), our WCO wear spools are engineered for high-tonnage slurry transport, where standard spools fail quickly. The tungsten carbide overlay creates an ultra-hard protective barrier that withstands continuous abrasion from highly abrasive slurries. 

​

Our WCO spools deliver: 
✔️ Extreme abrasion resistance 
✔️ Extended spool lifespan 
✔️ Reduced downtime from premature spool failure 
✔️ Lower total cost of ownership compared to standard spools 

​

Proven Performance 

Backed by advanced welding technology and years of material science expertise, CIM’s WCO spools consistently outperform conventional wear solutions in the harshest operating environments.
