Abstract
A composite wire for producing a wear resistant and corrosion resistant coating on a substrate by thermal spraying, spray and fuse, or welding techniques are disclosed. The physical properties of the coating are particularly suited for high-temperature erosion-corrosion environments. The resultant coating exhibits good hardness, toughness, and bonding characteristics. The composite wire comprises a metallic outer sheath and an inner core containing boron carbide and chrome carbide.
Claims19
A composite wire for producing a wear resistant and corrosion resistant coating on a substrate, said composite wire consisting of a tubular metallic outer sheath encapsulating a powdered inner core, said inner core comprising a mixture of boron carbide of at least 35% by weight, and chrome carbide in an amount between about 67% and about 185% by weight of the amount of boron carbide.
