WC-10Co4Cr Thermal Spray Powder

  • Both Agglomerated & Sintered and Sintered and Crushed powder are available. Agglomerated and sintered powders are spherical or near-spherical with good flowability. Sintered and crushed powders are irregular.
  • The maximum service temperature is up to 500℃.
  • The dense coating has high hardness with excellent resistance to abrasive wear, fretting wear, adhesive wear, and erosion wear.
  • Replacing hard chrome plating.
  • Cobalt &Chrome has better corrosion resistance and wear properties than Cobalt, especially in wetting and corrosion environments.
  • Mainly used in aircraft landing gear, gate valves, ball valves, paper rollers, hydraulic cylinders, compressor rods, metallurgical rollers, mechanical parts, etc.
