Specifications and Applications
At Elmet, we offer advanced molybdenum thermal spray powder blends developed to meet both customer and industry specifications. These blended spherical molybdenum powders are engineered with self-fluxing components to create hard, dense coatings that deliver exceptional abrasion and wear resistance. Their spherical morphology ensures superior performance and reliability, making them an ideal choice for demanding applications.
Our agglomerated spherical molybdenum powder, created through a process of sintering and granulation of fine molybdenum powder, contains a narrow particle size distribution, impressive fluidity, and exceptional deposition efficiency.
The following characteristics make BSP ideal for various specialized applications:
- Atmospheric or water-stabilized plasma spraying to create durable molybdenum coatings.
- Spraying and priming purposes.
- Blending with NiCrBSi alloy powder effectively sprays piston rings.
- Standing up against corrosive elements like molten steel and copper in oxygen-resistant environments.
