Tri-Metallic Advantage™

It's all about the technology and experience that you get with Conforma Clad.

Over 20 years ago, Kennametal and Coperion co-developed this tri-metallic wear solution for extruder barrels known as WPR-29.  The same tri-metallic protection is available to end users directly from Kennametal:

  • Apex Cladding-Tough chip-resistant apex design
  • Bore Cladding-Formulated for hard, abrasion-resistant bores
  • 4140 Steel-Industry standard heat treatable, medium carbon alloy steel substrate provides toughness to metallurgically bonded claddings.
