Production Method for FeCoNiCrAl Powder

FeCoNiCrAl powder is produced using:

Gas Atomization – High pressure inert gas used to atomize molten alloy into fine spherical powder for excellent flow and packing density.

Water Atomization – High velocity water jet impacts molten stream to produce fine irregular powder particles. Lower cost but higher oxygen pickup.

Mechanical Alloying – Ball milling of elemental/pre-alloyed powders followed by sintering and gas atomization.

Gas atomization provides the best control over particle size distribution, morphology and purity.

Applications of FeCoNiCrAl Powder

Typical applications of FeCoNiCrAl powder include:

Thermal Spray Coatings – HVOF or plasma spraying to deposit thick, wear resistant coatings on components operating at high temperatures.

Additive Manufacturing – Selective laser melting to produce complex parts for extreme environments needing high temperature resistance.

Brazing Filler – For joining assemblies and sealing cracks in parts subjected to high temperatures during service.

Welding Consumables – Used as filler material to provide excellent elevated temperature strength in welded components.

Wear Parts – Powder metallurgy hot work tooling and fixtures resisting wear and thermal fatigue cracking.

Glass Processing – Chutes, conveyors and handlers used in glass melting furnaces.
