UTP Specialized Alloys for repairs and Corrosion in Canadian mining operations
Premium UTP welding consumables Canada from OPC Industrial & Mining: voestalpine Böhler alloys for mining repair, hardfacing, cladding, and special applications. Engineered for abrasive slurry, thermal cycling, impact wear, and corrosion in underground ops—reduce downtime with proven maintenance solutions.
Why Choose UTP Maintenance Alloys for Hardfacing & Repair?
Why Choose UTP Maintenance Alloys for Hardfacing & Repair?
UTP Maintenance products are built for real-world conditions — contaminated base metals, mixed steels, restricted positions, tight access, variable heat input, and aggressive wear. Metallurgical consistency, low dilution, and operator-friendly weldability make UTP the trusted choice for maintenance teams working under pressure.
Key advantages include:
Key advantages include:
Consistent weldability across common maintenance positions
Low dilution for chemistry control in buildup, cladding, and joining
High crack resistance on brittle or contaminated base metals
Advanced wear metallurgy for abrasion, impact and erosion
Proven reliability in underground mining and processing plants

Precision alloy selection for severe abrasion, impact, and slurry wear. From fine-grained to complex carbide formulations, these consumables deliver maximum resistance in the harshest conditions. Ideal for slurry pumping, chute liners, grizzly bars, backfill systems and ground-engaging tools in Canadian oil sands and hard-rock mining operations. Proven to extend component life 3–7× in abrasive backfill, paste fill, cemented rockfill (CRF), and hydraulic backfill environments.
Use for:
Fine or coarse abrasion
Impact & gouging
Sliding wear
Geometry build-up before hardfacing
Carbide-based overlays
This category includes complex carbide wires, conventional hardfacing consumables, and Wearcore XD products.
Specialized alloys engineered to rebuild worn components and extend equipment life in high-wear environments. From buffer layers to final capping, these consumables restore critical parts to original specifications with excellent weldability and crack resistance. Proven in Sudbury nickel mines and northern Ontario gold operations for 3–5× longer component life on buckets, drills, crusher parts, and underground tooling.
Use for:
Structural cracks
Worn shafts or bores
Cast iron failures
Multi-pass build-up
Dissimilar steel repairs
Includes low-hydrogen electrodes, machinable cast iron fillers, build-up alloys, and multipurpose maintenance rods.
Advanced wires and electrodes for strong, reliable joints and corrosion-resistant overlays. Perfect for dissimilar metal welding, buffer layers, and protective cladding on pipes, vessels, and structural components. Frequently specified on acid-leaching tanks, tailings lines, and high-chloride processing environments across Ontario and Québec mills.
Use for:
Stainless-to-stainless joining
Stainless-to-carbon transitions
Low-dilution corrosion-resistant overlays
Buffer layers
Controlled chemistry applications
Included stainless, nickel-based, and low-dilution GMAW/GTAW fillers.
Nickel, cobalt, and high-temperature alloys are designed for extreme heat, corrosion, and sour-service conditions. Includes Inconel, Hastelloy, and Stellite equivalents, with unmatched performance in aggressive chemical and thermal-cycling environments—the go-to choice for sour-service valves, kiln repairs, and high-temperature welding in Canadian smelters and refineries.
Use for:
High-temperature service
Creep resistance
Thermal cycling / thermal shock
Corrosion-critical environments
Mixed metallurgy applications
Includes nickel alloys, creep-resistant fillers, heat-resistant materials, and exotic consumables.
