Ni 20C Graphite Powder Description:
Ni 20C Graphite Powder is created through the hydrometallurgy autoclave process, which encases graphite within a nickel shell to ensure uniform distribution and consistent cladding. This production technique reduces segregation and boosts the efficiency of the powder's application. The nickel-encased graphite capitalizes on graphite's solid lubrication properties to greatly enhance the abradability of coatings. These attributes are especially advantageous for optimizing clearance control in high-precision applications, such as jet engine compressors and industrial machinery, where coatings may occasionally contact rotating components, thus improving performance and reducing wear.

Applications of Ni 20C Graphite Powder:
Ni 20C Graphite Powder is produced through the hydrometallurgy autoclave process, which encapsulates graphite within a nickel shell, ensuring uniform distribution and consistent cladding. This method reduces segregation and increases the efficiency of the powder's application. The nickel-encased graphite takes advantage of graphite's solid lubrication properties to significantly improve the abradability of coatings. These properties are particularly useful for optimizing clearance control in high-precision applications, such as jet engine compressors and industrial machinery, where coatings may intermittently contact rotating components, thereby enhancing performance and reducing wear.
