Cladser Co-12

Cladser Co-12 occupies a middle ground between Cladser Co-6 and Cladser Co-1, featuring a higher proportion of rigid, brittle carbides compared to Cladser Co-6. This composition grants it heightened resistance against low-angle erosion, abrasion, and intense sliding wear, while still maintaining reasonable resilience against impacts and cavitation. Commonly employed in self-mating setups or paired with either Cladser Co-6 or Cladser Co-1, its elevated tungsten content ensures superior performance at high temperatures, allowing for use up to approximately 700°C. Notably,  Cladser Co-12 shares its alloy type with Stellite® 12 (registered trademark of Kennametal Stellite).

Primarily utilized in applications requiring cutting tools withstanding abrasion, heat, and corrosion,  Cladser Co-12 finds its place in various industries. Examples include industrial knives for cutting materials like carpets, plastics, paper, and synthetic fibers, as well as saw tips in timber processing. Moreover, it serves in the fabrication of control plates within the beverage sector, pump vanes, bearing bushes, narrow-neck glass molud plungers, and as hardfacing for engine valves, pinch rollers in metal processing, and rotor blade edges.
