WC-15NiCr Thermal Spray Powder

  • Agglomerated and Sintered gray-black spherical or near-spherical particles with good flowability.
  • The maximum service temperature is up to 500℃.
  • The density coating has high hardness with excellent resistance to abrasive wear, sliding wear, erosion wear, and cavitation.
  • NiCr has better corrosion resistance than Cobalt, CoCr, and excellent resistance to seawater (Saltwater) corrosion.
  • Mainly used in oil field equipment, ball valves (oxidizing environment), hydraulic gate levers, transportation container hydraulic levers, the petrochemical industry, offshore equipment, parts, etc.
