FeCoNiCr powder

FeCoNiCr powder refers to an alloy composed of iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and chromium (Cr). The combination of these elements brings forth a host of desirable characteristics, making it an ideal material for additive manufacturing processes. The powder is finely granulated and specifically formulated to enable efficient utilization in 3D printers, where it can be selectively deposited layer by layer to create intricate and complex structures.

Overview of FeCoNiCr Powder

FeCoNiCr belongs to a class of high performance alloys that exhibit good mechanical properties, microstructural stability and environmental resistance at elevated temperatures exceeding 750°C. Iron and cobalt provide strength. Nickel enhances ductility and toughness. Chromium provides oxidation and corrosion resistance.

Key characteristics of FeCoNiCr powder include:

Excellent high temperature strength and creep resistance

Good fatigue strength and toughness

High hardness, wear resistance, and abrasion resistance

Outstanding corrosion and oxidation resistance

Available in various particle size distributions and morphologies

FeCoNiCr powder is designed for protective coatings, thermal spray, welding, additive manufacturing and other high temperature applications requiring strength, hardness and environmental resistance.

Composition of FeCoNiCr Powder

FeCoNiCr powder has the following nominal composition:

Element Composition
Iron (Fe) Balance
Cobalt (Co) 35-50%
Nickel (Ni) 10-30%
Chromium (Cr) 8-12%
Carbon (C) <0.5%
Silicon (Si) <1.5%
Manganese (Mn) <1%

Production Method for FeCoNiCr Powder

FeCoNiCr powder can be produced via:

Gas Atomization – High pressure inert gas used to atomize molten alloy resulting in fine spherical powder ideal for AM.

Water Atomization – High velocity water jet breaks up molten metal into fine irregular powder particles. Economical but higher oxygen pickup.

Mechanical Alloying – Ball milling of blended elemental powders followed by sintering and secondary atomization.

Gas atomization provides the best control over particle size, shape, purity and microstructure.

Applications of FeCoNiCr Powder

Typical applications of FeCoNiCr powder include:

Thermal Spray Coatings – HVOF or plasma spraying to deposit thick wear and corrosion resistant coatings on tools, molds, valves, bearings etc.

Additive Manufacturing – Selective laser melting to produce complex components for high temperature environments.

Welding Filler – Provides excellent elevated temperature strength, hardness and corrosion resistance in the weld zone.

Brazing Filler – Used to join components operating at very high temperatures requiring oxidation resistance.

Glass Processing – Powder metallurgy conveyor rolls with high temperature strength used in glass melting furnaces.

Specifications of FeCoNiCr Powder

FeCoNiCr powder is available under various size ranges, shapes, grades and purity levels:

Particle Size: From 15-45 μm for AM methods, up to 150 μm for thermal spray processes.

Morphology: Spherical, irregular and blended shapes. Spherical powder provides optimal flow and packing.

Purity: From commercial purity to ultra high purity grades based on stringent chemical analysis and application requirements.
