Metal and Metal Alloy Coatings

• Metal alloys can be used as bond coatings for other thermal spray coatings
• Nickel and Ni alloys such as NiAl are commonly used for dimensional buildup of parts for ease of
  machining
• Stainless steel, NiCr, etc. can be used to restore dimensions or to put an improved surface for wear and
  corrosion.
• Stellite, Triballoy, and other tribological materials can be used for improved performance over an easily
  fabricated base material.
• Molybdenum (Mo) and other refractory metals can be used for high temperature wear resistance, for sliding
  wear, and applications requiring lubricity. Widely used on automotive parts.
• Cobalt (Co), Tantalum (Ta), Chromium (Cr), Tungsten (W) and similar types of materials offer specialized
  properties.
• Copper (Cu) and Aluminum (Al) based materials are used for corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity,
  thermal conductivity, and other applications
• MCrAlY’s, such as CoCAlY, NiCrAlY, CoNiCrAlY and NiCoCrAlY, are used for hot oxidation protection and
  corrosion protection in gas turbine applications and in high temperature wear and corrosion up to 1000°C.
  They are also excellent bond coat materials.

Common coatings:

• MCrAlY’s (NiCrAlY, CoCrAlY, NiCoCrAlY, CoNiCrAlY)
• Nickel Aluminum alloys (NiAl) ,Nickel Chrome
• Molybdenum (Mo) and Mo alloys
• Titanium (Ti)
• Stellite : # 1,12, 6, 20, 21
• Triballoy
• Ferrous alloys : SS 316, 304, 413, 420, 174Ph
• Non Ferrous alloys : Cu, Al, Ph Bronze, Al Bronze, Babbitt
