DESCRIPTION:

TeroJet 55 575 is an agglomerated and sintered Chromium Carbide-Nickel Chromium Alloy powder designed specifi-cally for application via thermal spraying. Optimum coa-ting results will be achieved using HVOF. However, 55 575 powder may also be applied using plasma NTA systems.

Each lot of powder is subjected to extensive quality checks to insure a consistent particle size distribution and che-mical composition. The powder is essentially spherical in shape. The HVOF coatings produced are hard, dense and will exhibit high bond strengths to a wide variety of base metals. Exceptional resistances to fretting, abrasion, oxida-tion and high temperature corrosion can also be expected.

PROCEDURES FOR USE:

FINISHING PROCEDURE:

Coatings of 55 575 may be fi nished by grinding using silicon carbide wheels with fl ood coolant. Diamond wheels or belts may be used as an alternative. Follow the tool manufacturer’s recommendations for speeds and feeds.

HEALTH & SAFETY:

HAZARDS

When applying 55 575 powder via the HVOF process, respiratory, hearing and eye protection is required. For general guidelines consult AWS Publication C2.1-73 and AWS TSS-85, “Recommended Safe Practices for Thermal Spraying and AWS TSS-85, “Thermal Spraying, Practice, Theory and Application.” Thermal spraying is a completely safe process when performed in accordance with proper safety measures. Become familiar with local safety regulations before starting spray operations. DO NOT operate your spraying equipment or use the spray material supplied, before you have thoroughly read the equipment instruction manual. Refer to the Eutectic web site for Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) information.
