Powder

Continuous Cast Alloys offers a range of atomized cobalt and nickel base powders including specific alloy compositions and sieve cuts for use with PTA, laser cladding, HVOF, and flame spraying techniques. Powders offer:

• High purity and a very low level of oxygen ere to the inert gas atomizing process
• Good fluidity due to spherical shape of each particle with the minimum of satellites
• A wide choice of alloy powders
• A full product range for plasma transferred arc welding and thermal spraying and the HIP process
• Efficient, clean continuous casting technology
• Custom capabilities and proprietary chemistries
• All orders shipped with a Certificate of Analysis guarantee
• Innovative processes and state-of-the-art technology to keep our customers competitive
• Industrial experts on staff to ensure superior quality, valuable consultation, and field support

PLASMA TRANSFERRED ARC WELDING:

Plasma transferred arc welding (PTA) has come to play an important role in hardfacing. Characteristics of PTA include:

• Automatic welding is readily available and requires less operator skill
• High deposition rate (twice that of GTAW)
• Smooth deposit surface and fewer defects in the deposit
• Less dilution in a deposit than GTAW
• Blended powders can be used
• Controlling bead thickness is easier with PTA than with oxy-acetylene and GTAW (0.25 – 6.4 mrn  /  0.010 – 1 /4″)

PTA POWDER: 

• High quality and purity PTA welded beads obtained
• Good fluidity of powder
• A wide range of hardfacing alloy powders options
