EuTronic® Gap Highest precision and quality Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) is a modern technology that is finding a growing place in the wearfacing and joining technology, Castolin Eutectic’s homeland. PTA is hybrid of welding and coating with near laser quality but with welding’s practicality and cost.
der flows in the plasma stream have taken this technology to a new level to include PTA brazing with powder or wire. The units work with a wide range of powders but optimal results are obtained using tailored unique gas atomized powder EuTroLoy®.
As one of the pioneers in PTA, with more than 45 years experience and over 300 units in the field, we have recently developed a new range comprising the small hand held units, fully automated units and the world’s most powerful heavy duty unit, the IMPA torch. The new units feature touch screens, internet control, special feeders, extension torches, seamless connectivity to full robotic systems and customer specific production units.

CDP®&CastoTube® Worldwide leader
One becomes leader in Wear and Fusion Technologies by listening to customers and providing new solutions. Responding to the need to produce large wearfaced surfaces quicker than by manual welding, we manufactured our first “WearPlate” with a robotized unit 17 years ago. Today we run more than 26 such units around the world and provide the widest range of wearplates on the market under the brand name CastoDur Diamond Plates® (CDP®). These composite materials consist of a steel plate overlaid with abrasion and
erosion resistant alloys by means of arc welding, metal fusion or plasma coating. Innovations have included the patented powder fused plate, the first XuperWave® weld bead concept, PTA overlay plates with 60% Tungsten Carbide, the first impact resistant plates and first oriented crystal structure. Today, our new innovations also include novel ways to design and construct complex components and “ready for service” prepared parts with these new materials. The latest innovation is called CastoTube®. Although large diameter internally welded tubes can
be produced, smaller diameter seamless wearfaced tubes were not available until CastoTube®’s development. CastoTube® are continuing to be developed to have even smaller diameters and can now be made with 82 mm diameter and up to 6 meters long; a world first. A new production concept was realised based on the proven CDP® technology but which avoids expensive forming operations of flat plates. The unique powder fused plate gives a smooth surface, thin section and flat engineering plate for corrosion and wear resistance.

Brazing
Specialized joining needed ? Brazing is a special process that produces strong joints at low temperatures, obtained through a diffusion process with no melting of the base metal. The advantages of brazing are obvious: Assembly of very different metal types is possible within a large range of temperatures. Diverse means of heating. The low melting point of our ďŹ ller metals allows heat-treated parts to be worked
with. Castolin Eutectic is a pioneer and worldwide leading supplier of brazing products. Our vast product range includes a wide selection of ďŹ ller metals in forms of diverse rods, wires, rings, foils, pastes and special pre-forms to meet all your OEM and maintenance requirements. Specially formulated uxes and specialized equipment are also part of our product range all developed and manufactured internally. The application scope of brazing technology is almost unlimited: Sanitary and air condition technology, drilling tools, electronics, bicycle industry, oil exploration, food and beverage industry, automotive manufacture and the plastics industry.
