For years it has been understood that a Twin Wire Arc System is the most economical means of applying metal in wire form to a surface. Though the economics have been the favorable for such a system, the performance of as-applied coatings was limited by applications where through oxidation and porosity were of concern. HVOF (high velocity oxy-fuel) was introduced in the 1980’s to deal with the concerns of inter-connected porosity, however at a very high price. What we have created is an alloy, when applied with a standard Twin Wire Arc System, creates a low oxidizing environment at the arc which translates into a more reliable coating with no thru oxidation and oxide stringers. These innovative alloys, though more costly than traditional wires, will ultimately prove to be more cost-effective to produce a coating than HVOF. The operating costs of twin wire arc spray are significantly less than HVOF, considering the labor and gases to produce a coating. In addition, twin wire arc spray is capable of producing a coating that is many times thicker than one with the HVOF process while maintaining good structural properties. We have also identified the use of Low Velocity Flame Spray equipment to also deposit these alloys when they are in their powder form. This option allows for added portability with a less expensive means to apply than HVOF as well. The adjacent pictures are the types of equipment that World Wide Alloys endorses for the application of our Nano-Core® family of alloys.
