AUERCOAT 11.003.C
Tungsten-free hard materials for coating Secure-supply alternatives to tungsten carbide, developed and produced in Europe
Wear-protection coatings based on tungsten carbide are under pressure: volatile raw material prices, export restrictions and the REACH classification of cobalt are calling established material concepts into question. With AUERWEAR, Treibacher Industrie AG offers a high-performance, tungsten-free hard material platform based on modern carbides and carbonitrides, produced in Althofen, Austria, independent of critical supply chains.

The lower density of titanium-, niobium-, molybdenum- and vanadium-based hard materials means that every kilogram of powder yields significantly more coated volume than with tungsten-based systems. AUERWEAR materials combine high hardness and abrasion resistance with excellent bonding to steel matrices, high crack resistance and stable processability in common processes.
Tungsten-free also means future-proof: AUERCOAT addresses the requirements of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act and reduces dependence on critical raw materials as well as on binder phases classified as CMR. This allows users to secure their coating processes from a regulatory perspective without compromising on wear performance.
