NanoSteel(R) Announces New Coating Solution for Boiler Erosion and Corrosion

SHS 8000 increases the lifetime of boiler components over leading industry
standard coatings in elevated temperature environments

PROVIDENCE, R.I., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The NanoSteel(R) Company, a
leader in nanostructured steel alloy surface technologies for industrial
applications, announces the commercial availability of a new Super Hard
Steel(R) alloy, SHS 8000, for coating solutions in the power generation
industry that improves reliability and availability, and increases the
lifetime of pressure parts over leading industry standard coatings.
SHS 8000 is a cored wire solution for twin wire arc thermal spraying that
excels in the elevated temperature environments of pulverized coal and
fluidized bed boilers. SHS 8000 features an ultra-refined crystalline
microstructure, up to a thousand times finer than existing solutions,
resulting in exceptional corrosion, erosion and wear resistance, a unique high
hardness/toughness combination and extremely high bond strength without the
necessity of a bond coat.
"SHS 8000 offers superior performance to current industry standard
coatings," says Dave Paratore, president and CEO. "SHS 8000 will reduce
maintenance costs, minimize unplanned outages from tube failure and feature
excellent field repairability."

The NanoSteel Company, Inc., headquartered in Providence, R.I., develops
and markets a patented portfolio of Super Hard Steel nanostructured alloy
coating, overlay and wear plate solutions that effectively solve or alleviate
many operational challenges faced in critical industries today, including
wear, erosion and corrosion in a wide range of complex service environments.
