Ni 40C Graphite Powder Description:
Ni 40C Graphite Powder is a specialized composite powder featuring nickel encapsulation of graphite, produced via the hydrometallurgy autoclave process. This unique manufacturing method ensures a uniform distribution and continuous cladding of graphite within a nickel shell, minimizing segregation and enhancing sprayability. In coatings, the graphite acts as a solid lubricant, facilitating enhanced abradability with tailored porosity levels, crucial for optimizing clearance control in applications where rotating components may intermittently contact the coating.
