The advantage of our bimetallic alloys

The advantage of our bimetallic alloys is the high and homogeneous hardness throughout the whole layer thickness, which ranges from 1.5 to 2 mm thickness. The lifetime increase of the bimetallic cylinder against a nitrided cylinder may exceed 12 times or more. The price-quality-lifetime ratio is therefore very beneficial for the bimetallic cylinder. We have five different alloy solutions listed in the table below. We qualified the different alloys according to abrasion and/or corrosion resistance to enable a quick selection.

The advantage of our nitrided and hardened cylinders

The nitrided cylinder obtains its wear resistance from a thin, hard top layer of 0.3-0.4 mm applied by gas treatment, which is sufficient for standard polymers without fillers and offers a good lifetime-to-price ratio. For specific cases with small diameters, hardened materials can also be used.

Bimetallic alloys table

We qualified the different alloys according to abrasion and/or corrosion resistance to enable a quick selection. KB100/109 are general-purpose alloys, and KB300/350 are alloys for heavy wear applications. See also our material selector.

Backing material table

Like 5 different bimetallic alloys, we are also working with different backing materials. The selection for the right backing material is made based on internal process pressure and cylinder design. The different material options guarantee a flawless use of the cylinder.
