Flow Control


Hard Materials for Flow Components

Materials are chosen based on the application our customer is requiring.  Therefore, different grades of carbides, steels and ceramics have better characteristics for flow metering applications than others.   Many companies use nickel carbides, which are preferred in corrosive environments, such as water and water soluble pollutants.  Carbides are known to improve durability and minimize maintenance over time. 

Other customers prefer ceramics because of the low thermal conductivity and heat resistance properties.  If your application is requiring elevated temperatures, ceramic may be the best material to use.  Ceramics also have a high durability, meaning they are long lasting and hard wearing.  Sub-assemblies consisting of stainless steel and INCONEL® are also used to meet customer specifications.

High Volume? We are Equipped.

Do you require a high-volume of ceramic or carbide components for your flow control applications? We are equipped to run high-volume production as well as R&D. We will work with engineers to produce your finished part for full production. In most cases with our waterjet customers, finished parts are completed and waiting on the shelf for customer releases. We believe in lean manufacturing and working in a lean environment to best support and meet our customers needs. Whenever possible, we implement lean principals in the workplace in our everyday practices.

Flow Control

Flow Control Valve Sub-Assemblies

Hyperion Materials & Technologies offers flow control sub-assemblies which are manufactured by combining a cemented carbide finished valve component with a stainless steel/INCONEL® component to meet customer valve design specifications.

The flow control valve sub-assembly is completely finished to final tolerance with the desired coating or surface treatment and ready for direct assembly in the flow control valve. A variety of joining techniques including shrink fitting, brazing, and epoxy gluing are used to join the carbide and stainless steel and Inconel parts together.
