Discontinued NK5925 Nickel Carbon Graphite Composite Powder (Ni 40C Graphite Powder)

Ni 40C Graphite Powder Description:

Ni 40C Graphite Powder is a specialised composite powder featuring a nickel-coated graphite, produced via the hydrometallurgical autoclave process. This unique manufacturing method ensures a uniform distribution and continuous encasement of the graphite within a nickel shell, thereby minimising separation and enhancing sprayability. In coatings, the graphite acts as a solid lubricant, providing improved wear resistance with tailored porosity levels. This is critical for optimising the clearance control in applications where rotating components may intermittently contact the coating.

Ni 40C Graphite Powder FAQ:

Q1: What are the main advantages of using Ni 40C graphite powder in clearance control applications?

A1: Ni 40C graphite powder offers enhanced gas path efficiency and minimises wear on rotating components by providing tailored wear-resistant coatings using graphite as a solid lubricant.

Q2: How is Ni 40C graphite powder produced, and why is it suitable for spray applications?

A2: The powder is produced via the hydrometallurgical autoclave process, which encapsulates the graphite with nickel for uniform distribution and continuous coating, minimising separation and optimising sprayability.

Q3: What role does graphite play in Ni 40C graphite powder coatings, and how does it improve wear resistance?

A3: Graphite acts as a solid lubricant in the coatings, enabling improved wear resistance with carefully adjusted porosity levels, which is vital for optimising clearance control during intermittent contact with rotating components.
