STELLITE™ Additive Powder
The cobalt-based Stellite™ alloys are some of the most well-known and successful alloys in the world, with outstanding “all-round” properties. They combine excellent mechanical wear resistance, especially at high temperatures, with good corrosion resistance. The Stellite™ alloys are mostly cobalt-based with additions of Cr, C, W, and/or Mo.

NISTELLE™ Additive Powder
The nickel-based Nistelle™ alloys are designed for corrosion resistance rather than wear resistance, particularly in aggressive chemical environments where their high chromium and molybdenum contents provide excellent pitting resistance. As a class, they are also generally resistant to high-temperature oxidation and hot gas corrosion.

DELCROME™ Additive Powder
The iron-based Delcrome™ alloys were developed to resist abrasive wear at lower temperatures, typically up to 200º C. These alloys also provide moderate corrosion resistance and metal to metal wear resistance.
