Nickel Base Powder
They are used for applications demanding
corrosion resistance or oxidation resistance. Under 500 C, they have excellent
low-stress abrasion and adhesive wear resistance. These powders can be applied
by a variety of processes, such as, oxyaccetylene spraying or overlaying, HVOF/HFAF
spraying, plasma transferred arc (PTA) overlaying, plasma spraying, laser overlaying,
induction melting overlaying, centrifugal casting, 3D printing and powder metallurgical
processing. Key applications include valve gates, ball valve surface, valve seats, pistons,
plastics extruder screws, glass molds, steel mill rolls, wire drawing rolls, oil pumping shafts,
fan blades, screw conveyors and tungsten carbide tools
