Nickel-Based Alloy Powder
Ni-Cr-B-Si self-fluxing alloy powders for spray-and-fuse, PTA and laser cladding.
Nickel-based alloy powders are a type of high-performance powder materials produced with nickel as the matrix and added with alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, boron, silicon and carbon.
With high cost-effectiveness, excellent corrosion resistance and good process compatibility, they have become one of the most widely used consumables for surface strengthening processes including thermal spraying, plasma surfacing and laser cladding.
These powders are fully compatible with the operational requirements of high-velocity oxygen-fuel spraying equipment (HVOF), plasma surfacing equipment and laser cladding equipment, and can balance the improvement of component surface performance and the control of production costs.

How to Specify & Apply
Identify the Service Envelope
Determine the dominant wear mode (abrasion, erosion, adhesion, corrosion, oxidation), operating temperature and impact load. This narrows the grade selection to 2-3 candidates.
Match the Process
Each grade is validated for specific deposition processes. The "Application Process" field above shows HVOF, HVAF, APS, PTA, LMD, OFS or CAW compatibility.
Choose the Particle Size
Particle size controls deposit density and surface finish. Fine cuts (15-30um) for thin dense coatings; coarser cuts (45-90um) for thick build-up and high deposition rate.
Request a Sample
Most grades ship with a 1-2 kg sample for in-house process qualification. Our engineers will support parameter development on your equipment.
