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.
