World Class Wear Resistance
Q-Tile outperforms common industry standard wear resistance steels such as AR400 and High Chrome White Iron in a wide array of ASTM standardized testing.
Proprietary Microstructure
Customizable Geometries
Weldable or Brazeable/Sinterable
Q-Tile can be welded using the MIG technique. Recommend Stainless Steel, Incoloy alloy or preferably Carbon Steel rods. Q-Tiles can be brazed or vacuum sintered to any steel substrate using common B-Nickel aerospace brazes.
Custom Shapes and Dimensions
Currently, representing amongst the largest tiles commercially available, Quantiam’s tiles are currently available up to 6in (152mm) in width, 18in (457mm) in length, and 0.5in (12mm) in thickness. Larger sizes and thicknesses, and a variety of custom geometries are available.
