What are the commonly used metal alloy powders for thermal spraying?
Some commonly used metal alloy powders for thermal spray include:
1. Nickel-based alloys: These alloys are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength. They are often used in applications where resistance to oxidation and wear is required, such as in gas turbine components.
2. Cobalt-based alloys: Cobalt alloys are known for their high hardness and wear resistance. They are commonly used in applications where resistance to abrasive wear and high temperatures is required, such as in the aerospace and power generation industries.
3. Stainless steel alloys: Stainless steel alloys are used for their corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength. They are often used in applications where protection against corrosion and oxidation is required, such as in chemical processing equipment.
4. Titanium-based alloys: Titanium alloys are lightweight and have excellent corrosion resistance. They are commonly used in applications where a combination of high strength, low density, and corrosion resistance is required, such as in the aerospace industry.
These metal alloy powders can be applied using various thermal spray techniques, such as flame spraying, arc spraying, plasma spraying, or high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying. The specific choice of alloy powder and thermal spray process depends on the desired coating properties and the application requirements.
