Abstract
The present invention provides a ceramic based composite powder and a method for applying the composite powder using a H.V.O.F. gun to form a self-lubricating coating for metal parts. The composite powder and coating are comprised of a ceramic powder, a metal powder, and a solid lubricant powder.
Claims22
A composite powder for forming a self-lubricating composite coating comprising:
- between about 25-75 vol % of a ceramic powder comprising a carbide;
- between about 5-50 vol % of a metal powder selected from the group consisting of nickel and chromium, and combinations thereof;
- and,
- between about 2-25 vol % of a solid lubricant powder selected from the group consisting of molybdenum disulfide, lead oxide, graphite, silver, and titanium oxide.
1 more element
A composite powder for forming a self-lubricating composite coating on a cast iron component comprising:
- about 60-70 vol % of chromium carbide powder;
- about 15-25 vol % of a metal powder comprising an equal volume of nickel and chromium;
- and,
- about 10-20 vol % of molybdenum disulfide powder.
