The Ultraplate coating was especially developed for the offshore industry to withstand the extremely corrosive saltwater environment. This coating is suitable to protect carbon steel, working in submerged saltwater conditions or in the splash zone. Additional advantages of Ultraplate are an extremely high adhesion to the rod material, excellent wear properties as well as the possibility to repair partial damage of the coating locally.

Technical facts:

• Plasma welding technology (P.T.A.) for stainless steel layers
• P.T.A.-Welding machine for piston rods up to 600 mm diameter and 25 m length
• Computer controlled welding parameters
• Online process control
• Single and multiple layers of different materials possible
• High quality welding powder with certificate
• Internal and external control of coating properties (independent test institute)

Properties:

• Homogeneous and completely non-porous layer
• Low dilution of substrate and protective layer
• Extremely high resistance to corrosion and chemical attack (Corrosion test according to ASTM G48, 35 °C)

Field of application:
Hydraulic cylinder requiring high resistance against corrosion in offshore, hydromechanical engineering, power plants, chemical industry etc. Go back
