TS1371 Molybdenum Powder for Thermal Spraying

Thermal Spraying Molybdenum Powder Description

The materials of thermal spraying coatings are commonly in the forms of powder, wire or rod. They are heated and convert to micrometer-size particles. Then the particles are accelerated towards substrates and create a coating.

Molybdenum powder for thermal spraying is often used to manufacture engine pistons and synchronizer rings in the automotive industry because of its low friction coefficient, high sliding wear resistance and ductility. Coatings of molybdenum provide good frictional properties and scuff resistance as a result of an adherent, oxide surface layer that forms rapidly after spraying. The coatings are also hard and lubricious in nature, offering excellent dry-running properties.
