TH335 Wear-Resistant Coating

TH335 is a cored wire specifically engineered for arc spray systems, offering a high-hardness, wear-resistant coating ideal for non-slip applications. Its ability to create extremely rough profile coatings makes it highly effective for surfaces requiring enhanced traction and durability.

TH335 is a cored wire specifically designed for arc spray systems. It produces a well-bonded wear-resistant coating with high-hardness. It has the unique ability to produce very rough profile coatings for non-slip applications. We start with a flat strip of steel and form it into a “U”, the powder is then deposited inside, the steel strip is then folded over after which it is drawn to size.

Key Features & Benefits of TH335

  • Superior Non-Skid Surface: Produces a very rough profile, ideal for non-slip applications.
  • High Hardness & Wear Resistance: Well-bonded coatings ensure long-lasting durability.
  • Efficient Production Process: Starts with a flat steel strip, filled with powder, folded, and drawn to size, ensuring consistent and reliable coating results.
  • No Welding Required: Coatings bond mechanically, adhering to clean, contaminant-free surfaces with a profile of 3.5 mils or better.
  • Cost-Effective Operation: Requires only electricity and compressed air, reducing costs.
  • Portable and Flexible: Equipment is mobile for easy use in the field or shop environments.
  • Low Skill Requirement: Coatings can be applied successfully with minimal training.

How is TH335 Applied?

TH335 is applied using the Twin Wire Arc Spray Process, sometimes referred to as metalizing:

  1. Two spools of TH335 wire are mounted into an arc spray machine.
  2. One wire is charged positive, the other negative. The wires strike an arc when brought near each other, melting the material.
  3. Compressed air atomizes and propels the molten material onto the substrate.
  4. The particles solidify in-flight, adhering mechanically to the substrate surface without welding.
