Nickel-Chrome Powder [-170+325]

Understanding Nickel-Chrome Thermal Spray Powder

Nickel-Chrome (NiCr) powders are widely used as bond coats and build-up layers in thermal spraying. The alloy typically provides excellent resistance to high-temperature oxidation and hot corrosion. The -170+325 mesh size (approximately 45 to 90 microns) is a standard cut that offers good flowability and consistent feeding through various thermal spray feeders, making it practical for both manual and automated coating operations.

This powder is compatible with High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF), plasma, and flame spray systems. The specific process fit depends on the exact chemistry and morphology of the powder lot, which we confirm on enquiry to ensure it matches your equipment parameters.

Selecting the Right Grade for Your Process

Choosing the correct powder grade is critical for coating performance. Key variables include the precise nickel-to-chrome ratio, the presence of any trace elements, and the powder manufacturing method, which influences particle shape and density. A spherical, gas-atomized powder will behave differently in an HVOF gun compared to a crushed and blended powder in a flame spray torch.

We help buyers navigate these choices by providing detailed technical data for each lot. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all product, we source based on your process requirements—whether you need a specific bond strength, oxide content, or deposition efficiency.

Packaging and Handling

To maintain powder integrity and prevent contamination, this product is supplied in sealed containers. Standard pack options include 5 kg tins, 10 kg tins, and 25 kg pails. Proper storage in a cool, dry environment is essential to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause feeding issues and porosity in the sprayed coating.
