Nichrome alloy wire/ thermal spray wire , Anti-corrosion high temperature

Nichrome alloy wire / thermal spray wire SX-601 is high-temperature and corrosion resistant powder-cored spray wire, wire material for arc spray , ceramic wire.

Wire is the preferred form of feed material for many coating operations. The reasons include lower material costs and ease of handling. Also, wire operations are often characterized by high deposition rates and high deposit efficiencies. The two common applications for thermal spray wire is the combustion wire process and the wire arc spray process. The arc spraying process by far uses more total pounds of wire per year when compared to combustion wire.

Applications are limited to coating materials that can be formed into a malleable wire. The manufacturing process of wire is what limits what materials you can make in thermal spray wire. The initial process could include forging or hot rolling to an intermediate size. The final processing requires cold drawing using hardened dies. It may also include heat treating operations to remove cold work from the drawing process. If the material is too hard or too brittle to go through a cold drawing process, it will not be available as a thermal spray wire.
