A method of forming a resistant coating on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a wire having a metallic outer sheath and an inner core;
- effecting a total fill weight of the inner core to be above 15% total composite wire weight;
- including less than 35% by weight of boron carbide in the inner core;
- melting the wire to form a melt;
- and
- atomizing and spraying the melt onto a substrate.
A method of forming a resistant coating on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a wire having a metallic outer sheath and an inner core;
- effecting a total fill weight of the inner core to be between 15% and 50% total composite wire weight;
- including less than 35% by weight of boron carbide in the inner core;
- melting the wire to form a melt;
- and
- atomizing and spraying the melt onto a substrate.
A composite wire utilized in connection with forming a resistant coating on a substrate comprising:
- a metallic outer sheath and an inner core, the inner core having a total fill weight above 15% total composite wire weight;
- and
- wherein the inner core includes less than 35% by weight of boron carbide.
A composite wire utilized in connection with forming a resistant coating on a substrate comprising:
- a metallic outer sheath and an inner core, the inner core having a total fill weight up to about 70%, and the outer sheath including one of an iron and an iron alloy;
- wherein the inner core includes less than 35% by weight of boron carbide;
- wherein the inner core further includes chrome carbide;
- and
- wherein the chrome carbide and the boron carbide are present in the inner core in approximately equal weights.
