Nickel base alloy powder classification

  1. Nickel-chromium alloy thermal spray powder: This type of thermal spray powder is various, such as a nickel-chromium heat resistant alloy, which is made by adding 20% ​​chromium to nickel. Nickel-chromium heat resistant alloys are hardly oxidized at high temperatures and are typical coating materials for heat, corrosion and high temperature oxidation resistance.
    The coating is dense and has good bonding property with the base metal. It is a transition layer material between the coating and the substrate of ceramics, soft metals and the like, which can increase the ability of the substrate to resist high temperature gas erosion, and can improve the coating and the base material. Bond strength.

  2. Nickel-chromium-iron alloy thermal spray powder: This kind of thermal spray powder is added with suitable iron in nickel-chromium. Its high temperature oxidation resistance is slightly worse than nickel-chromium alloy, and other properties are basically the same. Nickel-chromium alloys are close to each other. The prominent point is that the price is relatively cheap, so it can be used as a repair for corrosion-resistant workpieces, or as a transition layer thermal spray powder.

  3. Nickel-chromium-boron alloy thermal spray powder: This alloy contains relatively high hardness and moderate toughness due to the elements such as boron, chromium and carbon. After spraying, the coating is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant. Good performance, can be used for anti-corrosion repair of shafts, pistons, etc.

  4. Nickel-aluminum alloy thermal spray powder:

  • Nickel-aluminum alloy thermal spray powder is commonly used to make the bottom layer, and each of its particles is composed of fine nickel powder and aluminum powder. When spraying, the thermal spray powder is heated to above 600 degrees Celsius by flame, and a strong chemical reaction between nickel and aluminum produces an intermetallic compound and releases a large amount of heat. At the same time, part of the aluminum is also oxidized, producing more Heat. At this high temperature, nickel can diffuse into the base metal, which can significantly increase the bond strength of the coating.

  • Another distinguishing feature of nickel-aluminum composite thermal spray powders is the rough surface of the coating formed after spraying, thus providing an ideal surface for joining other spray materials. Nickel-aluminum composite thermal spray powders have an expansion coefficient close to that of most steels and are therefore an ideal intermediate coating material.

Nickel base alloy powder  use

Applicable to oxy-acetylene flame or plasma spray welding process, commonly used for corrosion protection, wear resistance, especially for the protection and repair of sliding wear parts, such as drawing rolls, cams, plungers, conveyor rollers of rolling mills, etc.

Precautions:

  1. Please strictly weld according to the requirements of oxygen-acetylene flame or plasma spray welding process.

  2. When using small and medium-sized spray welding guns, it is advisable to use -150 mesh powder. When using large spray guns, it is advisable to use -150/+320 mesh powder.

  3. If the alloy powder has moisture absorption, or the storage period is more than 3 months, it should be dried (120 ° C, 2 hours) before use.
