Abstract

A unique process for producing powder whose individual particles contain both chromium carbide and nickel/chromium is discussed. This process involves agglomeration of fine chromium carbide with nickel/ chromium-bearing materials using a proprietary binder system. The agglomerates are subsequently sintered, melted in a plasma flame, and sized. This powder does not exhibit the segregation and inhomogeneity problems associated with conventional mechanical blends of chromium carbide and Nichrome powders. Jet Kote* coatings created from the prealloyed powders have uniform microstructures, high hardnesses, and wear characteristics superior to those of plasma-sprayed coatings from the conventional blends.
