Discontinued AL5715 Aluminum Silicon Carbon Graphite Composite Powder (61Al 6Si 24C Graphite Powder)

61Al 6Si 24C Graphite Powder Description:

The 61Al 6Si 24C Graphite Powder serves as a specialised composite powder, meticulously formulated for gap control coatings in gas turbine engines. This finely tuned blend of Aluminium, Silicon, and Graphite imparts several critical properties essential for such demanding environments. These coatings play a central role in protecting against wear on rotating parts and optimising gas pathway efficiency by regulating clearances in the sealing areas. With their aligned properties regarding abrasion resistance and erosion resistance, the coating ensures extended component longevity while maintaining operational efficiency. Furthermore, the inclusion of Graphite in the powder formulation enhances lubrication, effectively mitigating the material transfer from the coating to the rotating elements during engine operation. To ensure optimal coating performance and durability, the recommended application method is the Combustion Powder Thermal Spray process. Compared to the 64Al 7Si 22C Graphite Powder coating, the 61Al 6Si 24C Graphite Powder coating demonstrates superior erosion resistance.
