SUS316 Spray Wire

Thermal spray wires

SUS316 Spray Wire

SUS316 wire for electric arc spraying and machine-element repair on carbon, low-alloy and stainless steels; the chemistry corresponds to low-carbon 316L type.

Low-carbon 316L-type chemistry: Cr 16-18%, Ni 10-14%, Mo 2-3%

Published coating bond strength of 6,750 psi

Includes published spray settings and substrate preparation

Product description

SUS316 Spray Wire is presented with low-carbon 316L-type chemistry: 16-18% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo, maximum 2% Mn, maximum 1% Si, maximum 0.030% C and S, maximum 0.045% P and balance Fe. CQ can confirm grade identity and composition for the requested application.

Published coating data include HRB 90-100 hardness, 6,750 psi bond strength and an 11 lbs/hr/100A deposit rate. Settings of 50-60 psi, 29-32 V, 100-150 A and a 4-6 inch distance describe electric arc spraying. Surface preparation includes white-metal cleaning and 24-mesh roughening before repairing components with 1.6 or 3.2 mm wire.

Repairs and restores machine elements made from carbon, low-alloy or stainless steel, especially where an Fe-Cr-Ni-Mo corrosion-resistant deposit is required.
