How Chromium Carbide Coatings Extend Valve Life

Valves in severe industrial service face wear, corrosion, erosion, thermal cycling, and particle impingement. These degrade sealing surfaces, trim, and internals, leading to leaks, greater maintenance, and unplanned shutdowns. Chromium carbide (e.g. Cr₃C₂‑NiCr, sometimes modified) coatings, applied via thermal spray or other advanced coating methods, can strongly extend valve component life. But to get the […]
