KAR85-AM-K Corrosion Resistant Tungsten Carbide Grade combines the wear performance of conventional tungsten carbide with the design flexibility of 3D printing to produce high-performance parts for oil and gas, power generation, and more. It is a corrosion resistant tungsten carbide grade for metal additive manufacturing.
It is available exclusively in combination with Kennametal’s binder jet 3D printing capabilities to produce fully finished wear components.
It was developed to provide corrosion and wear resistant properties analogous to its conventional counterpart grade, CN13S. Combined with Kennametal’s binder jet additive manufacturing capabilities, KAR85-AM-K results in fully densified, corrosion resistant components that meet or exceed the properties of conventionally manufactured carbide components.
The new grade composition features a proprietary blend of cobalt, nickel, and chromium for improved corrosion resistance compared to standard cobalt-based tungsten grades.
