Power Generation Cladding Applications

Fans  Protect your fans from fly ash and other highly-erosive matter with Conforma Clad. Our cladding can help you increase your fan run times by a factor of four or more. We can substantially boost your equipment productivity while reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.   Common Conforma Clad Conveyance Components:  Induced Draft Forced Draft Hot Primary Air Gas Recirculation Boosters Exhausters Mechanical Collectors Others     Features & Benefits Superior Weight to Erosion-Resistance Ratio - It would take an inch of chrome carbide weld overlay or three inches of plain carbon steel to equal the erosion resistance provided by 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) of Conforma Clad cladding. Resists Chipping & Spalling - Improve fan efficiency, reduce costly downtime and avoid catastrophic blade detachment Protect Your Entire Fan - Conforma Clad can protect the leading and trailing edges, centerplate weldment areas and fan inlet hubs Proven Results - Conforma Clad’s premium technology has been used in coal-fired power plants for more than 15 years, extending the life of burners, gas fans, thermowells, ash conveyance equipment, pitot tubes, pulverizer components and other plant equipment. On-shelf inventory - for select models   Fan Component Cladding Specifications Substrates  Cladding can be applied to most carbon steels, stainless steels and alloy steels.  Temperature Continuous operation at temperatures up to 1900 degrees F (1038 degrees C) with nominal performance impact. Able to withsatnd transients in excess of 2000 degree F. Compatibility Compatible with chemicals commonly found in coal and fly ash, including hydrochloric acid, hydrogen fluoride and sulfuric acid.                     Custom Conveyance Solutions Conforma Clad will work closely with you to develop a wear solution for your specific fan type. In addition, our brazed tungsten carbide wear protection can be applied to a variety of industrial components that are affected by abrasion, corrosion, erosion or thermal shock.. We produce severe wear solutions for pump shaft seal sleeves, pump impellers, direct clad fan components, fan wheel and housing wear liners, burner tips, burner tube liners, pulverizer components and conveyance equipment, among others. Our team of application and material engineers is available to evaluate your application and recommend a cost effective solution today.     How to Order For questions, request for quotations, or to place an order, please contact our Power Generation Application Engineering team at 888.289.4590 (toll free) or 812.948-2118   We will need to following information to process your quotation: Component drawing or the actual component, along with dimensions (length, width, height, OD, ID) Substrate or material type.
