Ni 15C Graphite Powder Description:
Ni 15C Graphite Powder, produced via the hydrometallurgy autoclave process, features graphite encapsulated in nickel for uniform distribution and seamless cladding. This process minimizes segregation, improves application efficiency, and utilizes graphite's solid lubrication properties to enhance coating abradability. These attributes are crucial for optimizing clearance control in applications where coatings intermittently interact with rotating components.
