Brass Spray Wire 3.17 mm

About Brass Spray Wire 3.17 mm

Brass alloys are widely specified in thermal spraying for their excellent machinability, low coefficient of friction, and reliable corrosion resistance in atmospheric and marine environments. The 3.17 mm (1/8 inch) diameter is a standard size compatible with a broad range of arc and flame spray equipment, providing a stable feed and consistent melt characteristics for uniform coating deposition.

This wire is typically used to rebuild worn shafts, bearing journals, and other machine elements where a ductile, easily finished surface is required. It also serves as a cost-effective corrosion barrier on steel structures, offering long-term protection without the need for complex sealing treatments in many applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Standard 3.17 mm diameter: Ensures broad compatibility with common arc and flame spray guns, simplifying procurement and reducing setup time.
• Corrosion-resistant coating: Deposits a dense, low-porosity layer that protects base metals from moisture, salt spray, and industrial atmospheres.
• Excellent machinability: The as-sprayed coating can be readily turned or ground to final dimensions, reducing finishing costs and time.
• Flexible pack sizes: Available in 15 kg, 20 kg, and 25 kg spools or coil packs to match your job size and production volume.

Thermal Spray Process Compatibility

Brass Spray Wire 3.17 mm is engineered for two primary thermal spray processes. The optimal choice depends on your production rate, coating thickness requirements, and available equipment.

• Arc Spray: Two electrically charged wires are fed to a meeting point, where an arc melts the tips. Compressed air atomizes the molten metal and propels it onto the workpiece. This process offers high deposition rates and is energy-efficient for large-area coverage.
• Flame Spray: The wire is fed through an oxy-fuel flame, melted, and atomized by a compressed air stream. Flame spray is a versatile, lower-investment process ideal for workshops handling varied, small-batch repair jobs.

We recommend confirming your specific gun model and nozzle setup with our team to ensure optimal wire feed and spray parameters.
