Tungsten Carbide Nickel Powder [-325+400]

About Tungsten Carbide Nickel Powder [-325+400]

This powder consists of tungsten carbide (WC) particles embedded in a nickel (Ni) metallic matrix. The nickel binder improves corrosion resistance and toughness compared to cobalt-based alternatives, making it suitable for environments where both wear and mild corrosion are factors. The -325+400 mesh size range (approximately 38 to 44 microns) is a standard cut for thermal spray, offering good flowability and deposit efficiency in high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and plasma spray systems.

Buyers typically select this powder for applications requiring a dense, well-bonded coating with high microhardness. The nickel matrix provides a non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant binder phase that performs well in aqueous environments and at moderate temperatures. Common uses include pump sleeves, plungers, hydraulic rods, and other engineering components subject to abrasive wear.

Thermal Spray Process Compatibility

The particle size distribution of this powder is optimized for consistent feeding and melting in thermal spray equipment. It is compatible with:

• HVOF (High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel): Produces the densest, highest-bond-strength coatings with low oxide content. Preferred for critical wear applications.
• Plasma Spray: Suitable for larger components or where HVOF is not practical. Achieves good coating quality with proper parameter control.
• Flame Spray: A lower-cost option for less demanding applications. Requires careful parameter optimization to achieve acceptable density.

Process suitability should be confirmed based on your specific equipment, parameters, and component geometry. SPA2Z can assist with grade selection and compatibility checks upon enquiry.
