Triten APG / About Us

Wear-resistant alloys and overlays you can count on

Abrasion Overview • Triten Alloy Product Group’s method of manufacturing overlay plate produces high-quality overlay that greatly extends component service life. Our narrow overlay bead morphology and characteristic fine pattern of stress-cracking deliver optimum resistance to the loss of the protective overlay in even the most severe conditions. • Our process methodology incorporates high-density, wear-resistant carbides in a tough, wear-resistant matrix. This helps to ensure maximum durability and performance. • Our process controls ensure consistent, high-quality overlays. We carefully monitor the development and application of overlays, from customized alloy mixes to our standard alloy mixes.
	PLATE Using our proprietary Bulkweld process, we manufacture a wide range of wear-resistant overlays for steel plates. The properties of these overlay compositions and substrates are engineered to provide extended service life at ambient and elevated temperatures in arduous environments where abrasion, erosion and impact prevail. Triten Alloy Products Group’s plates are available in a range of thicknesses and overlay alloy/base plate combinations to match customer specifications. Our proprietary plate overlay technology can be used for both modification of standard equipment and the development of specialized alloys to meet application needs. We also offer in-house cutting and fabrication of wear-resistant plate as either liners or complete structures. We provide custom hardfacing with various alloy compositions to protect or refurbish a wide range of components.
	PIPE Hardfacing overlays can extend the service life of pipes used in industrial applications such as pneumatic and hydraulic conveying systems (dredging, suction lines, air ducts and slurry pumps). Triten Alloy Products Group’s manufacturing centers can apply alloy overlays to pipes of varying sizes, including small-diameter pipe. Our specialized welding manipulators can accommodate small-diameter pipe with lengths up to 20 feet, which greatly reduces the number of circumferential weld seams required for longer pipes. This improves the quality and durability of the finished product. Our specialized welding system allows weld overlays to be applied to both the outside and inside diameter of the pipe.
	VESSELS Because of their size, function and unique characteristics, industrial vessels are difficult and expensive to construct and maintain. Pressurized conditions, elevated temperatures and the conveying of abrasive products all contribute to accelerated wear and/or erosion of vessels. The use of alloy overlays can greatly extend the lifespan of many types of industrial vessels, including pressurized containers, boilers, transition modules and strainers. In the past, alloy overlays were considered a temporary solution for most vessels. Today, however, the overlay can be integrated into the original design of the vessel, providing a permanent upgrade.

ELECTRODES - Tubular Electrodes
The Triten range of tubular electrodes was developed specifically for wear-resistant hardfacing. The properties of the alloys making up the tubular range are engineered to provide extended service life at ambient and elevated temperatures in aggressive environments involving abrasion, erosion and impact. Compatability has been developed between the alloys of the tubular hardfacing electrodes and our overlay plates.

Unlike extruded welding rods, the outer coatings of the our tubular electrodes are moisture-resistant. They do not require special storage conditions, will not flake when damp, and resist mechanical damage. All electrodes can be used direct from the packet, without prebaking. They do not require deslagging between runs, and application is fast and efficient. A unified stub end enables all electrodes to be used in a standard ¼-inch holder. Hardfacing can be carried out using most portable AC or DC welders.

	Corrosion Overview Our extensive background in production welding of corrosion-resistant alloy paved the way for the development of our patented specialized welding overlay systems. These new welding systems provide all the benefits of corrosion-resistant alloys while being cheaper and faster to produce than solid alloys. Extensive process controls help ensure the finest quality overlays. We carefully monitor the development and application of our patented overlays as well as industry-standard overlays. Our team of licensed and qualified managers and metallurgists use in-house laboratories to make rapid adjustments to the alloys when needed. We conduct chemical testing and other testing, as appropriate, to measure composition and durability.
	VALVES In many industrial applications, valves endure the greatest amount of stress and corrosion. We work with major valve manufacturers to apply corrosion- and erosion-resistant weld overlay to their valves. We are capable of applying our overlays to both new and used valves. In many cases, customers use our weld overlay to refurbish their existing valves to allow them to be used in upgrades or a revamp process. Prior to retiring your existing valves, let us evaluate them. If feasible, we will use our specialized weld-overlay expertise to refurbish and upgrade existing components.
	FITTINGS Because they bind and support industrial equipment both in the plant and in the field, fittings are essential to productivity and must be as corrosion resistant as the equipment they serve. We offer fabrication and corrosion-resistant overlays for the following fitting components: • Elbows: LR, SR and Reducing • Reducers: Concentric, Eccentric and Conical • Tees: Straight and Reducing • Laterals • Special Fabricated Mitered Elbows for large ducting
	FLANGES Flanges are particularly susceptible to corrosion-related stress and cracks. We provide corrosion-resistant overlays for the following: • RF • RTJ • Blinds • Orifices • Weldolets • Spacersz
	PIPING SYSTEMS We can supply complete piping systems or piping components for field assembly. To complete most requirements, we offer either weld overlay pipe or clad pipe in a wide range of corrosion-resistant alloys. • Seamless pipe with weld overlay • Fabricated seam welded pipe with weld overlay • Seam welded pipe fabricated from clad plate
	PRESSURE VESSELS Because of their size, functionality and unique characteristics, pressure vessels are difficult and expensive to construct and maintain. Pressurized conditions, elevated temperatures and the use of chemical agents all contribute to the rapid wear and erosion of certain vessels. The use of corrosion-resistant overlays and cladding can greatly extend the lifespan of most vessels, including pressurized containers, basket strainers and boilers. Our facilities are equipped to perform fabrication, including clad and weld overlay, of various size vessels. Our metalworking processes include roll forming; plasma and arc cutting; and manual, semi-automatic and automatic welding of long seams.

Abrasion:
Triten Alloy Products Group offers unique expertise in customized alloys to match requirements of different industries. Alloy powders are formulated and mixed on-site and matched to the customer’s specifications. These specifications are often industry- or customer-modified standards. Custom formulas can be designed to solve specific chronic-wear problems.

Customized alloys undergo the same rigorous process controls and production standards as standard alloys.

Corrosion:

• Our method of producing and testing corrosion-resistant overlays accommodates various thicknesses and chemical compositions to ensure extended service life in both corrosive and erosive environments.
• To ensure the highest-quality finished product, we use a variety of corrosion-resistant weld overlays.
• We can apply Monel, Nickel, Inconel, 300 and 400 series SST and Cobalt and Iron hardfacing to meet most service applications.

Fabrication Guidelines
Our overlays combat abrasion, erosion and impact at either ambient or elevated temperatures. Although the hardfacing material exhibits extreme wear characteristics, it can be cut, formed and shaped like conventional grades of steel.

The recommended method of cutting overlay plate is by plasma arc, as the high chromium and carbon content of the hardfacing precludes the use of oxy-fuel and most mechanical means. The special properties of very hard overlay alloy and ductile substrate allow these materials to be formed and fabricated into complex shapes, including concave or convex curves.

Wear-resistant liners may be installed into structures using a variety of methods, including plug welding, stud welding and bolting. Fabrication can be accomplished by conventional welding of the carbon steel substrate. It is strongly recommended that all structural joints exposed to wear be protected by capping with a hardfacing alloy compatible with the overlay, using Triten tubular hardfacing electrodes.
