Cu 10Al Powder Description:
Cu 10Al Powder is a mechanically clad aluminum bronze known for its self-bonding properties during thermal spray processing, particularly effective when applied using combustion powder spray. This material produces coatings that are easily machined, achieving excellent surface finishes. The coatings exhibit good resistance to fretting and galling at low to moderate temperatures and offer excellent resistance to abrasion and cavitation. Cu 10Al Powder is ideal for soft-bearing applications and is suitable for low-temperature environments where moderate oxidation, wear, and cavitation resistance are required, offering superior corrosion resistance compared to pure copper materials.
