New Xaloy MPX technology can be employed across the full range of screw diameters and may be applied to the entire screw or to specific areas. Standard layer thickness is 300 microns, with variations depending on the area of the screw. The MPX screw coating should be used with a barrel lined with Nordson’s Xaloy® X-800® nickel / tungsten carbide alloy or a comparable inlay. Xaloy MPX technology expands Nordson’s offering of screw encapsulations for high-wear applications. The Xaloy® X-8000™ coating is a nickel-based alloy with high tungsten carbide content that is first applied in an HVOF process, then fused to the parent metal of the screw to form a metallurgical bond. 5 TN October 2016
