Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder Description:
Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder is a martensitic chromium stainless steel powder similar to type 420 stainless steel, specifically engineered for enhanced wear resistance while maintaining good corrosion resistance in atmospheric and industrial environments. Coatings produced from this powder exhibit significant strength and reasonable impact properties, and they can be applied in very thick layers, making them ideal for rebuilding or salvaging undersized parts. These coatings are particularly effective against mild abrasive grains, particle erosion, fretting, and hard surface wear and are recommended for use at temperatures below 540°C (1000°F). When applied using the HVOF spray process, the coatings achieve higher hardness, lower porosity, and superior wear resistance, resulting in smoother, denser, and less oxidized surfaces. Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder coatings can be finely finished with silicon carbide wheels and machined with carbide tools, making them perfect for applications that require both wear resistance and dimensional repair.
