Metco 51059A is a blend of spherical cast tungsten carbide (CTC-S) in a NiCrBSi matrix. It is designed for laser cladding. Deposits have a matrix hardness of approximately 50 HRC that provides very good abrasion and erosion resistance with fair impact resistance. The CTC-S hardphase results in a fine non-acicular structure with superior hardness versus fused and crushed tungsten carbide. The high apparent density and improved flow raise the amount of hardphase present in the clad deposit.
