CU5813 Copper Nickel Indium Alloy Spherical Powder (Cu 36Ni 5In Powder)

Cu 36Ni 5In Powder Description:

Cu 36Ni 5In Powder is a specially formulated gas-atomised alloy powder, developed specifically for aerospace applications to reduce metal-to-metal wear on components made from Titanium alloys. Coatings produced from this material exhibit high density and low oxide content, effectively reducing wear mechanisms such as fretting, adhesion, galling, and cavitation. These coatings, approved by major OEMs in turbine engine manufacturing, are typically applied using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) or thermal spraying with combustion powder, with coating thicknesses ranging from 0.013 mm to 0.051 mm (0.0005 to 0.002 inches). The incorporation of Indium in Cu 36Ni 5In Powder enhances anti-galling and lubrication properties, making it ideal for critical applications where wear resistance and performance reliability are paramount. To further enhance these properties, a dry film lubricant can be applied to the coating surface post-spraying to improve near-surface wear characteristics.
