Turnkey Manufacturing
and Industrial Rebuild
HFW solves demanding component challenges through manufacturing engineering, materials expertise, and precision execution.
The HFW Advantage
The Expertise Behind the Finished Component
For equipment that is difficult to manufacture or keep in service, HFW connects material performance, precision requirements, and manufacturing decisions to develop a practical solution.
Materials Expertise
Match materials and coatings to wear, corrosion, loading, and operating conditions.
Manufacturing Engineering
Plan critical fits, surface finishes, coating allowances, and process requirements together around the finished component.
Turnkey Execution
Deliver finished components through coordinated manufacturing, inspection, and assembly, with one team accountable from technical review through delivery.
Documented Customer Results
HFW 512: Extending Roll Life from Months to Years
The problem: A chemical processing customer’s rolls lasted only two months in a demanding wear and corrosion environment.
HFW’s approach: Improve performance with thermal spray, then develop HFW 512, a proprietary nickel-based alloy matched to the customer’s operating conditions and applied using HVOF.
The results: Roll service life increased from two months to four to five months with standard thermal spray, then to five to six years with HFW 512 in this application.
