Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder Description:
Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder is a martensitic chromium stainless steel powder, akin to type 420 stainless steel, optimized for wear resistance while maintaining good corrosion resistance in atmospheric and industrial environments. Coatings produced from this powder exhibit good strength, and reasonable impact properties, and can be applied very thick, making them suitable for rebuilding or salvaging undersized parts. These coatings are especially effective in combating mild abrasive grains, particle erosion, fretting, and hard surface wear, and are recommended for use at temperatures below 540°C (1000°F). When applied using the HVOF spray process, the coatings achieve higher hardness, lower porosity, and superior wear resistance, resulting in smoother, denser, and less oxidized surfaces. Fe 12Cr 0.3C Powder coatings can be finely finished with silicon carbide wheels and machined with carbide tools, making them ideal for applications requiring both wear resistance and dimensional repair.
