Ni 15C Graphite Powder is manufactured through the hydrometallurgy autoclave process, resulting in graphite encapsulated within a nickel shell to ensure uniform distribution and seamless cladding. This method reduces segregation, enhances application efficiency, and leverages graphite's properties as a solid lubricant to improve the abradability of coatings. These features are essential for optimizing clearance control in scenarios where coatings intermittently contact rotating components.
