Technics differences between spraying coat and welding coat

       

Many people have heard of spray powder and spray welding powder. So what's the difference between the two? What's the difference in technology? Today we talk about the difference between spraying and spray welding.

Key points of flame spraying / spray welding process

1. Understand the performance of the workpiece itself: such as material, composition, surface condition, wear parts and wear area, depth, etc.

2. Understand the working conditions of the workpiece: working environment (working temperature, main medium concentration and other components), stress condition (impact load or sliding fit, static fit), failure reason (machining tolerance, wear, corrosion, etc.).

The process differences between spraying coat and welding coat are as follows:

①     The results show that the bonding between the spraying coat and the base metal is different. The exothermic chemical reaction occurs when the nickel clad aluminum is heated by the spray flame beam. The micro metallurgical bonding coating is formed on the surface of carbon steel with rust removal up to SA3 and RZ > 50 μ m, and the mechanical bonding coating with "anchor hook" effect is produced between the bottom layer and the working layer. The bonding between the spray welding layer and the base metal is purely metallurgical bonding coating.

②     Spraying coat materials are different, welding coat requires the use of self fluxing alloy powder, while spraying coat does not require high self fluxing of powder, and it is not necessarily self fluxing alloy powder. All kinds of self fluxing alloy powder can be used for spray welding and spraying, but spraying powder does not have self fluxing, it can only be used for spraying, but not for spray welding process.

③     In the process of spraying  coat and welding coat, the preheating temperature before spraying is different, the heating effect of workpiece is different, and the microstructure and properties of workpiece after spraying are also different.

④     The welding coat layer is dense, but there are a few pores in the spray coating.

⑤ The ability to bear load is different. The spray coating can bear large area contact, and is mostly used on the working surface with lubrication conditions, the mating surface and other working conditions with less stress. However, the spray welding coating can bear larger impact force, extrusion stress or contact stress.
