Monel 400 thermal spray wire is a high-performance material specifically designed for arc spraying applications. Composed primarily of nickel and copper, Monel 400 is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good ductility. This wire is ideal for protective coatings in harsh environments, including marine, chemical processing, and power generation industries. Monel 400 thermal spray wire ensures superior protection against corrosion, oxidation, and wear, extending the lifespan and enhancing the performance of critical components.
To achieve optimal results with Monel 400 thermal spray wire, proper surface preparation is essential. The surface to be coated must 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. A clean and roughened surface improves the adhesion of the thermal spray coating, resulting in enhanced performance and durability.
