DESCRIPTION:
PROCEDURE FOR USE:
Eutronic Arc 500 is a nickel-aluminum alloy wire specifically designed for the twin wire arc process. It is selfbonding to most base metals and requires minimal surface preparation. Bond strengths in excess of 9,000 psi can be achieved on clean, smooth surfaces. Roughening the surface by machining, grinding or grit blasting can materially increase the bond strength.
Surface should be clean, white metal, with no oxides (rust), dirt, grease, or oil on the surface to be coated.
Coatings of Eutronic Arc 500 will exhibit good resistance to oxidation and mild abrasion coupled with excellent resistance to impact and bending. Coatings can be machined and ground to a surface roughness of 10 micro-inches. Eutronic Arc 500 can be applied to a wide range of base metal types including carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and nickel-base alloys. Eutronic Arc 500 is not self-bonding to copper and tungsten base metals. Coatings are widely used as a bond layer for subsequent thermal spray topcoats and as a one-step build-up material for dimensional restoration.
Note: It is best not to handle surfaces after cleaning. Recommended method of preparation is to grit blast with 24 mesh aluminum oxide, rough grind, or rough machine in a lathe.
