TECH-Plate Applications

Industry-specific coating solutions for corrosion, cavitation, and abrasion

TECH-Plate is used across a wide range of industries and component types wherever conventional coatings fail under extreme conditions. The following examples illustrate common problems and how TECH-Plate addresses them. Contact us to discuss your specific application.

Hydro Power

Repairing cavitation damage under a hydro turbine runner
ComponentProblemTECH-Plate Solution
Turbine RunnersCavitation pitting and erosion from high-velocity water flowTECH-Plate fills and seals cavitation voids; hard ceramic surface resists future damage
Stay Vanes & Wicket GatesCorrosion and abrasion from sediment-laden waterBarrier coating prevents base metal loss; restores dimensional profile
Draft TubesCavitation and corrosion on interior surfacesTECH-Plate applied in-situ; extends service interval between outages
Cooler End HousingsSevere corrosion rendering components beyond economical repairWeld buildup followed by TECH-Plate restores to better than original spec
Pump Casings & ImpellersErosion from abrasive particulates in waterCeramic-filled coating dramatically extends component life

Oil & Gas / Petro Chemical

Field service technician at an industrial facility
ComponentProblemTECH-Plate Solution
Separator InternalsCorrosion from H₂S, CO₂, and produced waterTECH-Plate provides chemical-resistant barrier coating on steel internals
Pipe Elbows & Choke PointsErosion from high-velocity sand and particulate flowThick ceramic composite coating absorbs impact and abrasion
Valve Bodies & SeatsCorrosion and erosion in sour service environmentsTECH-Plate restores worn seating surfaces and protects against further attack
Pressure Vessel NozzlesLocalized corrosion at weld heat-affected zonesCoating applied over prepared surface seals and protects vulnerable areas
Pump HousingsAbrasion from slurry and corrosion from process fluidsTECH-Plate extends service life and reduces unplanned maintenance

Mining

Heavy industrial equipment transport at a mining site
ComponentProblemTECH-Plate Solution
Chutes & HoppersSevere abrasion from ore, rock, and aggregateTECH-Plate ceramic composite provides a sacrificial wear surface that is field-repairable
Cyclone LinersRapid erosion from high-velocity slurryCoating applied to interior surfaces; extends liner life between replacements
Conveyor ComponentsCorrosion and abrasion on structural and moving partsProtective coating reduces maintenance frequency in harsh outdoor environments
Pump Wet-End ComponentsSlurry erosion on impellers and casingsTECH-Plate rebuilds worn profiles and resists continued abrasion

Pulp & Paper

Industrial equipment load test
ComponentProblemTECH-Plate Solution
Digester ComponentsChemical attack from caustic and acidic process liquorsTECH-Plate chemical-resistant barrier protects steel from aggressive cooking chemicals
Bleach Plant EquipmentCorrosion from chlorine compounds and oxidizing agentsCoating isolates base metal from corrosive process environment
Pulp Pump CasingsAbrasion from fibrous slurry and filler particlesCeramic composite coating extends casing life and maintains hydraulic efficiency
Roll Journals & HousingsCorrosion and fretting wear in wet press and dryer sectionsTECH-Plate restores journal dimensions and protects against further corrosion

Aerospace

Makino V99L CNC machining center used for aerospace components
ComponentProblemTECH-Plate Solution
Ground Support EquipmentCorrosion and wear on structural and mechanical componentsTECH-Plate provides durable protection for equipment operating in outdoor environments
Tooling & FixturesSurface wear and corrosion reducing dimensional accuracyCoating restores worn surfaces; precision machined to final tolerance after cure
Hydraulic Component HousingsCorrosion in high-humidity or marine environmentsBarrier coating prevents moisture ingress and galvanic corrosion

BEFORE & AFTER COOLER END HOUSING

Before and after cooler end housing — TECH-Plate restoration

A corroded cooler end housing — considered Damaged Beyond Repair — rebuilt to better than original specification using weld buildup, precision machining, and TECH-Plate coating.
