Cu 38Ni Powder Description:
Cu 38Ni Powder is an inert gas-atomized alloy powder specifically designed to protect titanium alloy parts from metal-to-metal wear. Coatings produced from this material are dense and low in oxide content, demonstrating effective resistance to fretting, adhesion, galling, and cavitation. Due to its higher melting temperature compared to CuNiIn coatings, it is typically applied using atmospheric plasma spray (APS) or combustion powder thermospray, offering thin coatings ranging from 0.013 mm to 0.051 mm (0.0005 to 0.002 inches). The as-sprayed coatings are used in various applications, and their near-surface wear properties can be further enhanced by applying a dry film lubricant post-spraying.
