| Copper/silicon Carbide (HIPAC)
Ask for the separate Data Sheet for more details |
High thermal conductivity, five times greater than cast iron. Good electrical conductivity. High wear resistance High energy absorbance and heat dissipation |
Used on components subjected to high friction wear and heat build up caused by rotating machine parts. Major uses are for brake and clutch components particularly on racing cars, motorcycles and other forms of transport. |
| 13% Chrome Steel | Macrohardness - Rc 33 Tensile bond strength - 28 Mpa (4000 p.s.i.) High Strength |
Used extensively as a build up material. It can be ground finished to tight tolerances to reclaim shafts, hydraulic rams, pistons, bearings, plungers and other general engineering components. |
| Aluminium | Macrohardness - RH 80
Tensile bond strength - 10 Mpa (1450 p.s.i.)
High resistance to corrosion:-
|
With appropriate sealing of the coating aluminium can be used as an all-purpose coating to prevent atmospheric corrosion and sea water attack on steel structures. |
| Aluminium Bronze | Macrohardness - RB 80 Wear resistant. Machines to excellent finish. |
It can be used for repairing defects in bronze castings. Also for build up of worn areas on bushings, bearings and other bronze or brass items. |
| There are a number of other wires available. These are detailed below with possible applications. | |
|---|---|
| Coating | Typical Applications |
| Tin/Antimony/Copper (Babbit) | For heavy duty bearings |
| Zinc | For general corrosion resistance for similiar applications to aluminium |
| Molybdenum | For high wear areas such as wire capstans, brake drums and machine knives. |
