Tribaloy® structure consists of intermetallic materials of hard, intermetallic (laves) phase dispersed in a softer matrix of eutectic or solid solution.
Environments where Tribaloy® alloys have shown exceptional performance include but are not limited to:
Tribaloy® intermetallic materials maintain unique surface properties over a wide range. They exhibit outstanding resistance to wear and galling, high corrosion resistance and are particularly suitable where lubrication is a problem.
Tribaloy® is particularly recommended in applications involving low lubricity and corrosive gases. Typical application would include clean/lean burn engines.
Wesco Valve has been an industry leader in the application of Tribaloy® hardfacings for many years and has had vast experience in solving severe service application needs.
