The movement of metal wires on steel rollers can lead to abrasive wear on the surface of the roller, which will ultimately have a destructive effect on the quality of the produced wire. In order to increase the performance and wear resistance of the roller surface, ultra-hard ceramic coatings such as chromium oxide and tungsten carbide are applied on the surface by thermal spraying methods.

Target parts of wire and cable industries:

• Roller
• Rings and cones
• Dancer pulleys
• Wire guides
• Snub pulleys
• Drawing blocks
