NanoSteel® has created a portfolio of patented steel alloys based on the company’s award winning Super Hard Steel® nanotechnology for applications as metallic coatings. NanoSteel alloys increase the service life of industrial parts and components used in power, mining, oil & gas, concrete and cement industries.

NanoSteel alloys are a new class of alloys that offer superior performance over conventional alloys for metallic coating applications. When applied as thermal spray coatings and weld overlays for hardfacing and wear plate, NanoSteel alloys feature a microstructure with grain sizes refined to a nanoscale (defined as 1-100 nanometers).

The nanoscale microstructure provides a unique combination of high hardness/high toughness properties resulting in high bond strength performance across a range of substrate materials and enhanced resistance to corrosion, erosion, impact and wear.
NanoSteel has R&D capabilities for implementing rapid design, prototyping, field trial evaluation and performance analysis processes to develop custom alloys to meet unique application and performance specifications.

Next generation monolithic steel alloys based on NanoSteel’s Super Hard Steel® nanotechnology are in development for future release as micro wire, steel plate, sheet steel and structural steel member products within all major industrial markets, including automotive, construction, ship building and military armor plate.
