contact info| CermaClad Pulse Fusion Metal Cladding |
Distributed by Polythermics™ |
CermaClad is a high production metal cladding process for pipe and plate steel. It uses a high density infrared arc lamp to fuse a uniform layer of powdered metal composite such as copper -nickel, metallic glass, silicon-nickel, and tungsten, to the underlying steel surface.
CermaClad is a proprietary engineered process that combines two advanced technologies; Rapid ElectroMagnetic (EM) Fusion Processing and Self Fluxing Nano- and Meso- Structured Metal Composites coating feedstocks..
The Pulse Fusion metal cladding process is derived from the Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) industry. RTP is a manufacturing process most commonly used in the semi-conductor industry for diffusion of dopants into silicon wafers. The RTP process uses high intensity, very high power IR emitting lamps to heat the silicon surface to a temperature greater than 900 C in a fraction of a second. By controlling factors such as optical power density, wavelength/frequency, and pulse width, electromagnetic heating allows for very rapid, controlled heating of surface layers with low and controllable heat input into the base material. Due to its controllability, EM thermal processing is also used in specialized thermoplastic fusion, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and thermal oxidation processes. CermaClad utilizes the pulse thermal heating properties of the EM source to rapidly fuse a 2-40 mil layer of metal composite to the base surface in about one second per area. Area application rate control becomes a relatively simple matter of scaling lamp power to meet the desired productivity rate, and optimizing costs.
CermaClad Self Fluxing Metal Composites are a significant advancement in coating and cladding technology, compared to weld overlays, electroless plating, and thermal or plasma spray alternatives. First, the engineered structure of the CermaClad consumable controls the wetting and viscosity of the cladding, to enable pinhole-free, smooth, uniform coatings to be applied.
