CU5816 Copper Nickel Alloy Spherical Powder (Cu 38Ni Powder)

Cu 38Ni Powder Description:

Cu 38Ni Powder is an alloy powder produced by inert gas atomisation, specifically designed to protect components made from titanium alloys against metal-to-metal wear. Coatings made from this material are dense, have a low oxide content, and exhibit effective resistance to fretting, adhesion, galling, and cavitation. Due to its higher melting temperature compared to CuNiIn coatings, it is typically applied via atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) or thermal spray with combustion powder, providing thin coatings ranging from 0.013 mm to 0.051 mm (0.0005 to 0.002 inches). The sprayed coatings are used in various applications, and their near-surface wear properties can be further improved by applying a dry film lubricant after spraying.
