Unlike other coating methods, the Hardide Tungsten Carbide application does not use a cobalt-based binding agent and is also applied in gaseous form, enabling Hardide to coat out-of-sight surfaces and complex shapes. Customers include global companies operating in the oil and gas, valves, pumpsand aerospace sectors.
