CORROSION-RESISTANT SPRAY-AND-FUSED POWDER ALLOY
22 November 2004 - Eutectic UK

Eutectic UK has developed and patented a new spray-and-fused powder alloy for one of the toughest corrosion and wear applications available, leading to significant cost savings.

Eutectic UK has developed and patented a new spray-and-fused powder alloy for one of the toughest corrosion and wear applications available, leading to significant cost savings. Part of the market-leading Eutalloy range, this new alloy 53 606 is nickel-based but has high levels of special additives such as silicon, boron and molybdenum which give the deposit a hardness of over 600 HV, which remains at 500C.

'This is ideal for applications such as boiler tubes in the power generation sector, as well as chemical, waste recycling and pulp and paper industries where corrosion at high temperatures is prevalent,' comments Warren Lewis, product manager.

The Eutalloy powder range uses a unique surface alloying and self-fluxing process that can be applied on a variety of metals. The high hardness values it achieves lead to substantial increases in both the performance and endurance of plant of equipment, which means significant cost savings.
