CIM Proprietary Technologies
CIM has developed proprietary TungTough™ and TungHard™ Tungsten Carbide
Overlay (WCO) applied using Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. The WCO hardfacing overlays contain 60-70% tungsten carbide within NiBSi or NiCrBSi matrix, offering an optimal balance of exceptional wear resistance and toughness. This unique combination makes WCO the preferred choice for extreme wear applications.
​
TitanCast™ is an exclusive CIM product renowned for its exceptional toughness, durability, and wear resistance. With titanium carbide metallurgically cast into Chrome White Iron (CWI), it combines the strength of the base metal with the hardness of the carbides, making it ideal for high-impact applications.
CIMPlate™ is a composite Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) manufactured using a specialized automatic welding process (modified sub-arc welding). A proprietary post- weld heat treatment ensures a smooth surface and free of welding beads and check cracks. CIM CCO overlay can be produced up to 25 mm thick in a single pass.
CIMSiC™ is a high-performance silicon carbide ceramic known for its outstanding corrosion, erosion, and thermal shock resistance. ClM offers three types of ceramic solutions: Nitride Bonded SiC (NBSC), Reaction Bonded SiC(RBSC), and resin-bonded SiC, tailored to meet various application needs.
CHROME WHITE IRON (CWI)
At CIM, we collaborate with industry partners to find solutions for common wear problems; because of this, CIM has developed TitanCast™ with Tungsten Carbide (WC) or Titanium Carbide (TiC) metallurgically bonded in high chrome white iron (ASTM A532 IIB).
The WC or TiC reinforced layer is 15 - 25 mm. These products are extensively used in aggressive wear and high-impact services.
TUNGSTEN CARBIDE OVERLAY (WCO)
CIM has developed proprietary TungTough™ and TungHard™ Tungsten Carbide Overlay (WCO) applied using Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. The WCO hardfacing overlays contain 60-70% tungsten carbide within NiBSi or NiCrBSi matrix, offering an optimal balance of exceptional wear resistance and toughness. This unique combination makes WCO the preferred choice for extreme wear applications.
​
TungTough™ is designed for high-impact applications, consisting of 60-70 wt % angular eutectic tungsten carbide within a NiBSi matrix.
Hardness: WC (2300-2600 HV), Matrix (380-460HV); Bulk Hardness: 52 HRC.
​
TungHard™ is engineered for low-stress erosion applications, containing 70-75 wt % spherical eutectic tungsten carbide within a NiCrBSi matrix.
Hardness: WC (2700-2900 HV), Matrix (510-590 HV); Bulk Hardness: 65 HRC.
Key Benefits:
-Superior Wear Resistance: product’s lifespan can be extended up to 5 times
-Combination of high hardness and toughness.
-Reduce downtime, maintenance cost and inventory.
​
Application:
WCO can be built up to 1” thick with minimal carbide decomposition. The CIM WCO is widely used in shovel tooth, ripper tooth, crusher tooth, dozer blade and cutting edge, wear spool, slurry valve and wear ring, among other applications.
Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO)
DuraPlateTM is a composite Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) manufactured using a specialized automatic welding process (modified sub-arc welding). A proprietary post-weld heat treatment ensures a smooth surface and free of welding beads and check cracks. CIM CCO overlay can be produced up to 25 mm thick in a single pass.
​
Key Benefits:
-High hardness and superior abrasion resistance
-Smooth surface and free of solidification cracks.
-Single-Path Deposition: Achieves thicknesses from 6 mm to 25 mm in one pass, improving efficiency.
-Versatile Fabrication: Can be cut into any shape using flame cutting, PTA, or laser.
Applications:
DuraPlateTM is ideal for high-wear surface, including pump box liner, hopper/chute liner, shovel bucket liner, truck bed liner and surge bin liner.
SILICON CARBIDE CERAMIC (SiC)
CIMSiC™ is a silicon carbide ceramic with excellent corrosion, erosion and thermal shock resistance. CIM has developed three types of ceramic products, Nitride Bonded SiC (NBSC), Reaction Bonded SiC(RBSC), and resin bonded SiC.
CIMSiC™ is extensively used on slurry pump suction liner, impeller, volute and hydrocyclones in mining, coal-fired power generation and smelting industry.
Composite polymer ceramic coating
​
CIM developed a polymer-based ceramic coating for corrosive and erosive services. Hard ceramic particles SiC, AI2O3, SiO2, or Si3N4 were combined with the polymer, and the bonding strength could get above 15 MPa.
​
corundum ceramic coating
​
Corundum ceramic coating is made from 2600 ÌŠC molten alumina (AI2O3) centrifugally formed inside the steel pipe wall. The hardness of corundum ceramic coating is above 90 HRC, and it has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal shock resistance.
