Cu 36Ni 5In Powder Description:
Cu 36Ni 5In Powder is a specialized inert gas-atomized alloy powder, meticulously designed for aerospace applications to address metal-to-metal wear on titanium alloy components. Coatings produced from this powder are characterized by their high density and low oxide content, providing effective solutions to reduce wear mechanisms such as fretting, adhesion, galling, and cavitation. These coatings have received approval from major turbine engine OEMs.
Key Features and Benefits:
High-Density Coatings: The powder ensures that the resulting coatings are of high density and contain minimal oxides, which is essential for durability and reliability in high-stress environments.
Effective Wear Reduction:
- Fretting: Mitigates the wear and tear caused by repetitive relative motion between surfaces.
- Adhesion: Minimizes the tendency of surfaces to stick under high stress.
- Galling: Prevents severe adhesive wear often seen in metal-to-metal contact scenarios.
- Cavitation: Protects against the damage caused by the formation and collapse of fluid vapor bubbles.
- Application Methods: Typically applied using Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) or combustion powder thermospray techniques, with coating thicknesses ranging from 0.013 mm to 0.051 mm (0.0005 to 0.002 inches).
Including indium enhances the Cu 36Ni 5In Powder's anti-galling and lubricity properties, making it ideal for critical applications where high wear resistance and reliable performance are essential. For further improvement, a dry film lubricant can be applied to the coating surface after spraying, which enhances near-surface wear properties.
