Wear Parts Overview and Carbides

Hyperion Materials & Technologies manufactures tailor-made wear resistant components (wear parts) and offers tailored services and application development expertise to support our customers’ competitive needs.

We have over 60 years of experience in the development, production, and application of cemented carbide and Versimax™ wear components and composite diamond coating (CDC) products to solve your wear application needs.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies has over 60 years of experience in the development, manufacturing, and application of cemented carbide wear components (wear parts). Cemented carbide is one of the most successful composite engineering materials ever produced with a unique combination of strength, hardness, and toughness that satisﬁes the most demanding wear applications.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies has over 60 years of experience in the development, manufacturing, and application of corrosion resistant cemented carbides. Conventional cobalt bonded cemented carbides can be used in many applications facing extreme wear or high mechanical stress, but they offer limited corrosion resistance in working conditions where there are severe abrasive or corrosive requirements. Generally, straight tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) grades are resistant to corrosion down to pH 7.

From atomic engineering of crystal grain boundaries to the customer-specific design of a wear part, Hyperion Materials & Technologies is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of cemented carbide technology in order to meet our customers’ present and future needs. Every stage in the manufacturing of a cemented carbide component – from powder production to finishing – is crucial to ensuring optimum performance in your stamping tool blanks.

Fluid Handling

Open and Ground Tolerances

Hyperion manufactures high quality cemented carbide bushings and bearing sleeves that work in corrosive and abrasive (due to load, rotation, friction, etc.) environments. Our carbide bushings show wear and corrosion resistance with a high fracture toughness for demanding axial thrust. Hyperion also offers FDA compliant cemented carbides.

Decanters experience heavy wear due to the abrasive particles in the media. Hyperion Materials & Technologies supplies cemented carbide tiles that act as a wear barrier and help extend the operating life of the screw while reducing maintenance costs.

In order to separate high density from low density particles, centrifuge systems operate at high centrifugal forces (up to 10,000 G). This challenges the mechanical material properties of the media, which is oftentimes highly corrosive. Hyperion cemented carbide wear parts withstand such demanding working conditions, helping to discharge the heavy solids via cemented carbide nozzles.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies manufactures cemented carbide components for homogenizers. Cemented carbide helps maintain the efficiency of the valve gap to micronize and scatter particles due to its high stiffness and low expansion coefficient, withstanding both the high pressure and wear demands encountered in this industry.

Open and Ground Tolerances

Hyperion Materials & Technologies manufactures cemented carbide cylinders for use as plungers. They are available as stepped and non-stepped with or without center ends. We partner with our customers to develop solutions for their plunger and stepped cylinder wear part applications.

Open and Ground Tolerances

Hyperion Materials & Technologies manufactures cemented carbide mechanical seals that provide outstanding material performance in corrosive and abrasive environments. Hyperion seal faces help to minimize leakages by maintaining a stable sealing gap due to high mechanical strength and stiffness. Cemented carbide seal rings can be engineered to fit your specific needs.

Working conditions for dairy, pharmaceutical, food, and industrial applications require a high level of pressure and corrosion resistance. Hyperion Materials & Technologies cemented carbide nozzles show high wear and abrasion resistance helping to maintain a longer spray pattern. In addition to nozzles, Hyperion offers a full line of wear parts for spray systems including funnel shapes, orifice inserts, and swirl chambers.

Materials are FDA compliant.
