Flexible Tungsten Carbide & Stellite™ Cloth

The Conforma Clad process starts with flexible organic cloth embedded with either tungsten carbide particles or Stellite alloy.

This unique cloth technology enables our wear protection to perfectly conform to complex geometries, such as screw surfaces. Our infiltration brazing process then metallurgically bonds the tungsten carbide or Stellite alloy to the base material, resulting in a hard protective cladding that is extremely durable and wear resistant.
