Cu 10Al Powder Description:
Cu 10Al Powder is a mechanically clad aluminum bronze that excels in self-bonding during thermal spray processing, especially when applied using combustion powder spray. This material creates coatings that are easily machinable and achieve excellent surface finishes. The coatings provide good resistance to fretting and galling at low to moderate temperatures and offer outstanding resistance to abrasion and cavitation. Cu 10Al Powder is perfect for soft-bearing applications and is well-suited for low-temperature environments requiring moderate oxidation, wear, and cavitation resistance, delivering superior corrosion resistance compared to pure copper materials.
