The competitive nature of our modern world requires companies in all industrial sectors to continually reduce costs, maintain or even improve quality and provide the features their customers’ desire.

Whether to combat detrimental mechanisms such as wear and corrosion, or to enhance other properties such as thermal, electrical or decorative aspects, surface treatment solutions provide the value-added benefits companies require to compete and excel in their markets.

Sulzer Metco’s unique portfolio of products and comprehensive services provide our customers with increased profitability through economic surface enhancement solutions for improved product life, reliability and performance, thus giving our customers the competitive edge they require in today’s tough market environment.

In meeting the diversity of solutions required by the market, the many products and services we offer have come to mean value, reliability and quality, as represented by our highly recognized and regarded Sulzer Metco brands:

Without question, Metco® is the most well-known and respected brand throughout the history of commercial thermal spray solutions. Some of our earliest brands, such as Metcoloy® spray wires, Metcolite® pre-coat preparation medias and Thermospray® combustion powder spray solutions are still in worldwide use today.

Our thermal spray technologies continue to expand with exciting innovations that keep our customers competitive in their markets. For example, the outstanding coating throughput and excellent coating reproducibility that our customers who process anilox printing rolls achieve with our new TriplexPro® plasma technology saves processing time and cost. Many customers have adopted our MultiCoat® and UniCoat™ spray platforms because of their ease of use and consistent results. For HVOF coatings, DiamondJet® equipment and our Diamalloy® and WOKA® coating materials provide wear resistance on applications such as pumps, metal processing equipment, paper manufacturing machinery and other critical wear applications. With our new WokaJet™ and WokaStar™ liquid-fuel HVOF spray guns, customers can apply thick, dense, wear-resistant carbide materials with greater confidence than ever before.

For boiler, tube weld, marine, infrastructure and other general corrosion applications, our portfolio of electric arc spray equipment that includes EcoArc™, FlexiArc™ and VisuArc™, allows customers to choose exactly what they need for their particular application.

Our SUME® brand coating systems, expertly applied at our coating service centers, have solved the toughest of surface engineering problems with unique solutions in the steel, nuclear, medical, textile and printing industries.

Whether our customers wish to process in house or through our coating service centers, Sulzer Metaplas is there with quality coating solutions via turnkey system sales or coating services. Our MAXIT® PVD, IONIT® Plasma Heat Treatment and IONIT OX® Plasma Combination Treatment solutions are highly regarded for wear resistance, corrosion resistance, friction control and durable decorative surfaces for tooling, automotive and consumer applications, among others.

For oil, gas, petrochemical, mining and construction industries, our WOKA® and WokaDur™ hardface thermal spray and welding materials ensure wear protection in these tough environments. Also, our TuffStudds™ wear protection system is easily and economically applied to large construction and mining equipment with lasting results.

Finally, for a diverse number of products in the electronics industry, our E-Fill® conductive filler materials are adding value with nickel and gold-filled nickel materials that out-perform pure gold for conductivity and shielding applications.
