HBX is a curated range of welding and hardfacing consumables that extend the service life of machine parts and equipment.
At HBX, selecting a technology is a data-driven process. The form of the consumable follows from the size of the working area, the equipment available in the plant and the maximum acceptable dilution with the base metal. Chemical composition and grade come last — only once the wear mechanisms acting on the part have been identified.
MMA · 111
Crack repair welding and build-up hardfacing. A technology suited to stationary workshop conditions and to mobile service alike.
141
Surfacing of cold-work and hot-work tool steels. High control over the weld pool while keeping dilution with the base metal low.
135 · 136 · 138
Solid and cored wire technology. Engineered for maximum deposition rate.
15
Precision thin-layer surfacing. Minimal dilution with the base metal preserves the nominal chemical composition and properties of the deposit from the very first layer.
flame spraying with fusing
Self-fluxing coatings applied by spraying and then fused. A diffusion metallurgical bond — no melting of the base metal.
laser · 52
Mould repair, salvage of casting defects, production of sensors and medical instruments. Narrow heat-affected zone and the lowest dilution.
A qualified team of IWE welding engineers with 15 years of experience in industry.
We establish which filler metal and which process match the wear mechanism, the geometry of the part and the equipment actually available in the plant.
Welding current range, shielding gas, bead technique, number of layers and buffer layer. Matched to the specific part and to the specific power source.
Preheating, interpass temperature and post-weld heat treatment, matched to the base metal and to the chosen deposit.
The durability of the repair and the running time between overhauls are the overriding criterion in every decision.
Die-casting dies, forging dies, punches and guides.
Rolls and running tracks, guides, furnace, rolling mill and continuous casting components.
Screws and conveyors, crusher hammers and knives, breaker plates, fans.
Repair and manufacture of glass moulds.
Shredder knives, hammers, screens and conveyor screws.
