PWC88-22/53 - 88/12 WC-Co HVOF Thermal Spray Powder (22-53 micron)

Industrial Grade 88/12 WC-Co Thermal Spray Powder (JP5000 Sized)

Upgrade your surface engineering capabilities with our 88/12 Tungsten Carbide Cobalt thermal spray powder, specifically calibrated for High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) systems. The PWC88-22/53 features a particle size cut of 22-53 microns, making it the perfect match for liquid fuel systems like the Tafa/Praxair JP5000 and JP8000. This specific size range prevents the issues of nozzle clogging associated with finer powders while ensuring high deposit efficiency that coarser powders cannot achieve in these specific guns.

Why Choose 88/12 WC-Co?
Tungsten Carbide Cobalt is the industry standard for wear resistance. The 88% tungsten carbide content provides the extreme hardness necessary to resist abrasive grains and erosive fluids, while the 12% cobalt binder provides the necessary ductility to prevent cracking and improve impact resistance compared to pure ceramics. This formulation creates a dense, low-porosity coating that acts as a formidable barrier against mechanical wear. It is widely used to extend the lifespan of critical components such as landing gear, mud motor rotors, and corrugating rolls.

Optimized for Performance
Using the correct powder size for your equipment is crucial. The 22/53 micron cut is tailored for the gas velocities and dwell times found in liquid fuel HVOF guns. This ensures that the particles reach the substrate with the optimal kinetic and thermal energy, flattening upon impact to form a cohesive, well-bonded layer. The result is a micro-hardness typically ranging from 1000 to 1300 HV300, depending on spray parameters, providing a surface that significantly outlasts untreated base metals.

Whether you are repairing worn parts or manufacturing new components requiring high-performance surfaces, this powder delivers consistent results. It is packaged to prevent moisture absorption, ensuring it arrives ready to spray. By choosing this high-quality feedstock, you reduce downtime associated with equipment jams and inconsistent coating quality, ultimately delivering a better product to your customers.
