Product Introduction: 304 stainless steel wire sprcifically designed for arc spraying. It produces a dense, well-bonded coating with excellent machinability and wear and corrosion resistance. 304 stainless steel is widely used for machine element repair, dimensional restoration and wear resistance applications. It has relatively high shrink characteristics and should not be used for coatings over 0.075 inches thick.
Surface Preparation: Surface should be clean, white metal, with no oxides(rust), dirt, grease, or oil on the surface to be coated. Note: It is best not to handle surfaces after cleaning. Recommended methodof preparation is to grit blast with 24 mesh aluminum oxide, rough grind, or rough machine in a lathe.
