A Type 420 Stainless Steel Wire Designed for use with the Twin Wire Arc Spray Process
EuTronic Arc 560 Wire ®
• Excellent resistance to mild abrasion and corrosion • Type 420 stainless steel wire • Excellent for projects requiring thick coating build-up
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
Eutronic Arc 560 is a type 420 stainless steel wire specifically designed for the twin wire arc process. The coatings produced are dense, well bonded and exhibit excellent resistance to mild abrasion and corrosion. Eutronic Arc 560 coatings are widely used for machine element repair and dimensional restoration applications. The low shrink characteristics make Eutronic Arc 560 coatings an excellent choice for applications requiring a thick build-up.
• Cylinder Liners • Journals • Crankshaft Bearings
Coatings of Eutronic Arc 560 can be finished using conventional carbide tooling to achieve a medium finish. Better results can be achieved via grinding with silicon carbide or aluminum oxide wheels (30-50 grit).
• Pistons • Hydraulic Rams • Machine Elements, General

HEALTH & SAFETY:
Melting Point: 2600°F (1427°C approx.) Wire Weight: 96 feet / lb @ 1/16 inch diameter
Observe normal spraying practices, respiratory protection and proper air flow pattern advised. For general spray practices, see AWS Publications AWS C2. 1-73, "Recommended Safe Practices for Thermal Spraying and AWS TSS-85, "Thermal Spraying, Practice, Theory and Application." Thermal spraying ia a completely safe process when performed in accordance with proper safety measures. Become familiar with local safety regulations before starting spray operations. DO NOT operate your spraying equipment or use the spray material supplied before you have thoroughly read the equipment instruction manual. Refer to the Eutectic web site for Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) information.
TYPICAL COATING CHARACTERISTICS:
DISREGARDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH
Surface should be clean, white metal, with no oxides (rust), dirt, grease, or oil on the surface to be coated. 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. Adequate air ventilation is recommended.
