Praxair/Tafa Arc Spray BondArc ® Wire 75B®

Made exclusively for arc spraying, BondArc 75B wire is a unique 95% nickel-5% aluminum alloy for use in arc spray systems under U.S. Patent No. 4,027,367 and corresponding foreign patents. BondArc wire is self bonding to a broad range of smooth metal surfaces including annealed or hardened carbon steels, annealed or hardened alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum, nickel, cast iron, titanium and tantalum. It is not self-bonding to copper based alloys or tungsten. Mis-machined or worn parts may be rebuilt with BondArc 75B and re-machined with cemented carbide tool bits or various grinding processes. Coatings to a maximum thickness .250” have been achieved by continuous spraying. Thus, in some cases, BondArc can be used as a one-coat system. BondArc 75B meets the following specifications:  

PWA-36937 (PWA 271-37 Rev D, PWA 53-37),
GE Manual operation number 70-49-38 as an alternate to 70-49-10,
Avco M3951B,
Rolls Royce OMAT #3/229,
SNECMA DMR33-011,
Allied Signal FP5045 and BF Goodrich Service Letter 1623.

Thermoset Fluoropolymers
Self-priming one-coat products are formulated with organic binders to improve adhesion without the use of primers so they typically cure at lower temperatures than pure fluorpolymer dispersions. The fluoropolymer resin stratifies to the surfaces during the cure cycle. However, due to the binder resins, certain properties of the pure fluoropolymers may be compromised such as temperature resistance and release properties but abrasion resistance is retained These coatings are more typically used in dry-film/solid-film lubrication. One version uses MOS2 in conjunction with fluoropolymer to provide maximum lubricity in high load applications

CeRam-Kote 54â

The “FLEXIBLE” Ceramic, CeRam-Kote 54® patented coating technology, ceramic particle loading, results from CeRam-Kote’s unique ability developed over nineteen years and the trial of hundreds of formulas. Ceramic particle loading is the addition of a complex series of ceramic particles into a resin solution, which causes the resin solution to out-perform its basic chemistry. In addition to improving the chemical performance of resin systems, ceramic particle loading significantly enhances the dynamic mechanical performance and abrasion resistance of the resin system. Total performance characteristics of CeRam-Kote 54®, both chemical and mechanical, are significantly better than liquid epoxy, fusion-bond epoxy and other high performance coating systems.

Lastly, we maintain a wide selection of abrasion resistant products in stock, eliminating costly delays waiting for products to arrive, some as long as 2 weeks, in order for a project to begin. Each project is unique and specifications too numerous to list here, so please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
