Our Capabilities

From metallographic analysis, wear and stress resistance, corrosion resistance, anti-fouling technology, to the analysis of the integrity of protective coatings; InnoTech can provide valuable consulting expertise in material selection and performance.

Our core capabilities in this area include:

  • Corrosion resistant alloys
  • High chrome white iron
  • High manganese steel
  • Bronze
  • PTAW and GMAW welding overlays
  • Carbide based overlays
  • Chrome carbide overlays (CCO)
  • Complex iron-based overlays
  • Tungsten carbide overlays (WCO)
  • Diamond overlays
  • Laser-cladding
  • Spray and fuse / hardfacing

Additive Manufacturing

Using computer software (such as CAD) and object scanners we can develop designs and create prototypes from metals, polymers, and composite materials. For polymer builds we generally use smaller desktop 3D printers and our Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing facility (WAAM) for large-scale metallic and composite builds.

Additive manufacturing / 3D printing reduces the risk in process development and equipment selection. It allows for the proper selection of consumable materials and the evaluation of parts created using 3D printing technology; allowing more flexibility in manufacturing, more consistent quality, increased sustainability, and reduced costs when compared to traditional methods.
