CIM Proprietary Technologies
TungTough™ and TungHard™ are specially formulated tungsten carbide overlay (WCO) applied using Plasma Transfer 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.
TungCast™ and TitanCast™ are exclusively CIM products renowned for their exceptional toughness, durability, and wear resistance. With tungsten carbide or titanium carbide metallurgically bonded into chrome white iron, these materials combine the strength of the base metal with the hardness of the carbides, excelling in high-impact applications.
DuraPlate™ 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 19 mm thick in a single pass and a maximum thickness of 25 mm.
​
CIMSiC™ is a high-performance silicon carbide ceramic known for its outstanding corrosion, erosion, and thermal shock resistance. CIM offers three types of ceramic solutions: Nitride Bonded SiC (NBSC), Reaction Bonded SiC (RBSC), and resin-bonded SiC, tailored to meet various application needs.
​
CIMTiC™ is sintered titanium carbide (TiC) designed for seamless integration with iron or steel through the cast-in process. Its excellent wettability with steel enables metallurgical bonding during casting, eliminating residual stress issues commonly associated with brazing.
CHROME WHITE IRON (CWI)
At CIM, we work closely with industry partners to develop solutions for common wear challenges. As a result, CIM has developed TungCast™ and TitanCast™, featuring tungsten carbide (WC) or titanium carbide (TiC) metallurgically bonded to high chrome white iron (ASTM A532 IIB or IIIA), mild steel, or high manganese steel.
The WC or TiC reinforced layer is 15 - 25 mm in thickness, making these products ideal for use in aggressive wear and high-impact applications.
TUNGSTEN CARBIDE OVERLAY (WCO)
Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) is a high-energy, low-heat welding process that minimizes interaction with the base material while enabling the application of thick weld overlay. Common overlays applied through this method include tungsten carbide, chrome carbide, and titanium carbide.
CIM has developed proprietary TungTough™ and TungHard™ tungsten carbide overlays (WCO) using the PTAW process. These materials combine exceptional hardness, superior wear resistance, and toughness, making them the ideal choice for extreme wear applications..
SILICON CARBIDE CERAMIC (SiC)
CIMSiC™ is a silicon carbide ceramic with excellent corrosion, erosion and thermal shock resistance. CIM offers three types of ceramic products, Nitride Bonded SiC (NBSC), Reaction Bonded SiC(RBSC), and resin bonded SiC, each tailored to specific applications.
CIMSiC™ is widely used in industries such as mining, coal-fired power generation, and smelting, where it is applied to slurry pump suction liners, impellers, volutes, and hydrocyclones, providing outstanding durability and wear protection in demanding environments.
Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO)
CIM DuraPlate™ is a composite chrome carbide overlay (CCO) manufactured using advanced automatic welding technology. The overlay surface is smooth, free of welding beads and crack checks, ensuring a high-quality finish.
The CCO overlay can be applied up to 19 mm thick with a single pass, and up to 25 mm in total thickness. The hardness, G65, and chemistry remain consistent throughout the overlay thickness.
The microstructure consists of a cryptocrystalline martensitic matrix with precipitated chrome carbide and other composite carbides, making DuraPlate™ significantly harder and more abrasion-resistant than typical CCO materials.
​
CIMTiC™
CIMTiC™ is sintered titanium carbide (TiC) known for its excellent wettability with steel. It is specifically designed to combine sintered TiC with iron or steel through the cast-in process. During casting, the TiC is metallurgically bonded to the base metal, eliminating the residual stresses typically associated with brazing.
CIMTiC™ is widely used in applications requiring extreme wear resistance, including the manufacturing of rollers for steel rolling, drilling bits, crusher teeth, shovel teeth, and hammer crusher tips.
COATING
Composite polymer ceramic coating
CIM has developed a polymer-based ceramic coating designed for corrosive and erosive applications. This advanced coating combines hard ceramic particles such as SiC, Al₂O₃, SiO₂, or Si₃N₄ with a durable polymer matrix, achieving a bonding strength of over 15 MPa. This innovative solution offers enhanced protection in demanding environments, ensuring superior performance and longevity.
​
corundum ceramic coating
The Corundum Ceramic Coating is created by centrifugally forming 2600°C molten alumina (Alâ‚‚O₃) inside the steel pipe wall. With a hardness exceeding 90 HRC, this coating offers exceptional wear, corrosion, and thermal shock resistance, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
