45 CT thermal spray wire is a high-performance material designed for arc spraying applications, offering excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. This wire is engineered to provide a durable, hard coating that enhances the lifespan and performance of critical components in various industrial applications. 45 CT thermal spray wire is particularly suitable for applications in the aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, and power generation industries, where protection against severe wear and corrosion is essential.
For optimal results with 45 CT thermal spray wire, proper surface preparation is crucial. The surface to be coated should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any contaminants such as grease, oil, dirt, and oxides. Grit blasting with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide is recommended to achieve a surface roughness of 50-75 microns. Ensuring a clean and roughened surface enhances the adhesion of the thermal spray coating, resulting in improved performance and extended durability.
