FE5821 Iron Chromium Carbon Alloy Powder (Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder)

Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder Description:

Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder is a martensitic chromium steel powder that closely resembles Type 420 stainless steel. It is optimised for high wear resistance while providing good corrosion resistance in atmospheric and industrial environments. Coatings made from this powder exhibit good strength and appropriate impact toughness, and can be applied in substantial thicknesses, making them suitable for rebuilding or salvaging undersized components. These coatings are particularly effective in addressing light abrasive grains, particle erosion, fretting, and severe surface wear, and are recommended for use at temperatures below 540°C (1000°F). When applied using the HVOF spraying method, they achieve higher hardness, lower porosity, and superior wear resistance, resulting in smoother, denser, and less oxidised surfaces. Fe 12Cr 0.3C powder coatings can be finely machined with silicon carbide disks and processed with carbide tools, making them ideal for applications requiring both wear resistance and dimensional accuracy.
