Oil & Gas
A competitor's coating was failing the PR2 Annex F testing, so a customer partnered with PST to apply a proven tungsten carbide coating using our proprietary D-Gun application process on their gates and seats.
Metal Production
PST replaced a competitor's coating on furnace rolls used to transport steel strip through an annealing furnace in a galvanizing line. Our coating can withstand the extreme temperatures the rolls are exposed to while resisting pickup from various oxides.
Aerospace
We worked with aviation OEMs around the world to migrate special surface technology processes to locations close to overhaul and component repair shops to reduce downtime.
Oil & Gas
Our ExoProTM coating replaced hard chrome plating on a mud motor rotor, resulting in an improved life at an economical cost. Our solution provided the necessary protection to resist corrosion and wear, increasing the life from 1-2 runs to 3-4 runs.
Transportation
Praxair Surface Technologies provided an HVOF coating solution for train axles that were wearing out. This coating offered lower thickness, better adhesion, lower porosity and a better surface finish compared to traditional repair with a wire deposition arc spray method.
Power Generation for Oil & Gas Production
Find out how coating the rotor and aerodynamic bundle with a SermaLon™ fouling-resistant coating hindered deposition of corrosive products, reduced surface roughness and improved efficiency for Nippon Oil Exploration.
Oil & Gas
Find out how SermaGard® coatings are protecting tension leg platforms from the corrosive effects of seawater on Moho Nord in the Republic of Congo.
Plastics
Tungsten carbide coatings from Praxair Surface Technologies can improve scratch resistance over chrome plating and more than triple the service life of calender rolls used in plastics processing.
Power Generation
Solid particle erosion can be a big problem for coal-powered, steam-driven generators. You can protect parts in the steam path by having a protective chromium carbide coating applied to airfoil surfaces.
