Buffalo Tungsten’s latest R&D project for WC thermal spray powder has led to big improvements and new and improved powder products planned to launch in the first quarter of 2022 that will help all material users see better results in their surface coatings.
Because the shape of thermal spray powder is so important, Buffalo Tungsten’s made its new powders more spherical. As a result, they flow better through the HVOF guns that apply it. Better flow through the gun allows for better application of the powder.
The deposition efficiency has also improved using Buffalo Tungsten’s new process. This means that more of the powder ends up on the part and less on the floor. There is less waste and a more consistent surface coating.
In addition, the newly changed powders have a higher density. This gives the parts better wear and abrasion protection following a thermal spray coating.
Buffalo Tungsten is excited to introduce these changes. As with its other products, the WC thermal spray powders are manufactured at its Depew, NY factory.
