5. Spray materials
5.1 The main families of materials
Filler materials are characterized by :
their chemical composition ;
their form (powder, thread, cord, rod...) ;
their size (powder granulometry, wire diameter, etc.);
how they are produced.
They are classified according to A81-981 standards into groups, each alloy then being defined by a code. The chemical composition, available forms and application processes are specified for each alloy.
Table 5 shows the main groups that can be used for thermal spraying, together with the most common...
