CR5809 Chromium Carbide Tungsten Carbide Metal Alloy Composite Powder (Cr3C2 37WC 18Metal Alloy Powder)

Cr3C2 37WC 18 Metal Alloy Powder Description:

Cr3C2 37WC 18 Metal Alloy Powder is a spherical, agglomerated, and sintered powder designed for thermal spray applications. It consists of a uniform distribution of 43% Chromium Carbide, 37% Tungsten Carbide, and 18% metal alloy binder, exhibiting medium-sized carbide grains as hard phases. HVOF coatings produced from this material are dense and demonstrate excellent adhesion strength, surpassing coatings applied using atmospheric plasma spraying or thermal spray processes with combustion powders. The coatings offer exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and cavitation resistance, as well as corrosion resistance in harsh environments, comparable to or better than that of coatings made from WC 10Co 4Cr or Cr3C2 20 (Ni 20Cr). These coatings are ideally suited for protecting pumps and boilers and can be used as an alternative to hard chromium plating, functioning effectively at operating temperatures up to 700°C (1290°F). The fine particle size distribution of the powder results in resilient, dense coatings that frequently do not require post-treatment.
