About Copper Thermal Spray Wire 3.17 mm

Copper thermal spray wire is a primary feedstock for electric arc spray (twin-wire arc spray) and, in some cases, combustion flame spray processes. The 3.17 mm diameter is a standard size compatible with most commercial arc spray guns and drive systems. When sprayed, the wire atomizes into fine molten droplets that flatten and solidify on the prepared substrate, building up a functional copper coating layer by layer.

Typical applications demand the inherent properties of copper: high electrical conductivity, excellent thermal conductivity, and natural corrosion resistance in non-acidic environments. Common uses include spraying conductive paths onto non-conductive surfaces, applying anti-seize or anti-galling coatings to threaded fasteners, and rebuilding worn copper alloy components back to dimensional tolerance. The coating also serves as a bond coat or a decorative architectural finish.

Because copper is a relatively soft, ductile metal, the as-sprayed coating is machinable. This allows workshops to spray slightly oversize and then finish-machine the part to the exact required dimensions. The wire is manufactured to consistent chemistry and diameter tolerance, ensuring stable arc voltage, steady feed rates, and repeatable coating quality across production runs.

Pack Options and Handling

This wire is available on plastic or metal spools in 15 kg, 20 kg, and 25 kg weights. Coil packs can also be arranged for specific dispensing systems. Spools are individually sealed to protect the wire surface from moisture and workshop contamination before use. We recommend storing spools in a dry, covered area and handling them with clean gloves to prevent surface oils from transferring to the wire, which can cause arc instability or coating porosity.

Applications

Where this coating wire is commonly used.

Electrical Conductivity Coatings

Spraying conductive copper paths onto insulators, ceramics, or composite substrates for grounding, shielding, and current-carrying applications.

Corrosion Protection

Applying a sacrificial or barrier copper layer on steel components exposed to non-acidic, industrial, or marine atmospheres.

Dimensional Restoration

Rebuilding worn or mismachined copper alloy parts back to blueprint dimensions before finish machining.

Anti-Seize & Anti-Galling Coatings

Coating threaded fasteners, flanges, and sliding surfaces to prevent galling and seizing under load and high temperature.

FAQ

Which wire diameter should I choose?
It depends on your spray gun and the job. Common diameters are 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm and 3.2 mm. Confirm the tip size on your gun, or send a photo of your old spool.
Will this wire work with my arc or flame spray gun?
Our coating wires are made for arc spray and flame spray systems. Confirm the diameter your gun and contact tips are set for.
Do you supply spool or bulk quantities?
Yes. Order a single spool or bulk. Choose Kg, Spool or Coil and enter the quantity in the quote form.
How do I get the price and delivery time for wire?
Choose diameter and quantity, then share your location. We reply within 24 hours with price and delivery time.
