Hardfacing for Superior Wear and Corrosion Resistance Adapted from Information by Broco Rankin PMA (Protective Metal Alloys), founded in 1978, was created around a central idea that nickel and nickel-tungsten alloys offer superior wear and corrosion resistance compared to standard iron-based hardfacing materials. PMA VERSAlloy ® Diamond Carbide nickel matrix rods are the top choice for fighting severe wear, extreme abrasion and erosion, and high-temperature conditions in industrial environments. The rods are available in a range of diameters and lengths, and formulations can be customized tomeet themost stringent requirements. PMA VERSAlloy Diamond Carbide nickel alloy rods offer five to ten times more protection than standard hardfacing. PMA offers products for oil and gas drilling, geothermal, pulp and paper, agriculture, construction, and mining industries which protect new and worn parts longer, reduce critical downtime, and save operators both time and money. PMA's original founders were metallur- gists and chemists interested in providing a stronger, longer lasting alternative to stan- dard hardfacing. Since merging with Rankin Industries in 2005, both companies have expanded product line options to cover more of the world's industries. VERSAlloy is a registered trademark dating back to 1999, and is currently owned by Broco, Inc. PMA products are used around the world. At PMA, they work closely with cus- tomers to identify challenges andneeds, then provide a solution, not just an answer. They continue to test new formulations, address industry concerns, and offer new application possibilities - in an effort to make PMA VERSAlloy Diamond Carbide and all their hardfacing products more efficient, easier to use, and more valuable to users. Dear all, We received with great surprise the photo you took of us at bauma 2016. We thank you very much for such a nice present. Kind regards, Carlos Wagenseil TECOP, S.A.
