GP10C is an advanced Thermal Spray Powder, formulated from tungsten carbide, designed to offer unparalleled wear and corrosion resistance across a variety of demanding industries. As a Tungsten Carbide Coating material with a composition of WC-10Co-4Cr, GP10C is widely applied in high-stress environments where durability and strength are essential, making it a preferred choice for industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, papermaking, and more.
Key Features and Specifications
GP10C is characterized by a precise particle size distribution of 15-45 μm, and the formulation uses a unique agglomeration and sintering process. This process imparts GP10C with a high-density microstructure and bond strength above 70 MPa, while achieving low porosity (less than 1%). Additionally, GP10C exhibits impressive hardness, measuring 1000-1400 HV, and can withstand operating temperatures up to 500°C (930°F). These attributes make it an ideal choice for Weld Materials used in thermal spray applications and for enhancing the longevity of components in high-wear environments.
Performance Benefits
Exceptional Wear and Corrosion Resistance: GP10C provides a robust tungsten carbide coating that extends component life in challenging applications. This durable coating protects surfaces from corrosion, erosion, and abrasion, even under high-pressure and saline conditions, making it suitable for oil and gas exploration, gate and ball valves, hydropower applications, and papermaking rollers.
Optimized Bonding and Surface Quality: The spherical shape and precise formulation of GP10C yield a highly compact, smooth coating with strong bonding properties. This ensures excellent surface finishing, which is especially valuable for high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying or supersonic plasma spraying applications. GP10C’s performance under these coating techniques preserves the material’s nanostructure, significantly enhancing its durability and wear resistance.
GP10C’s compatibility with advanced thermal spray techniques like HVOF and HVAF, as well as its adaptability to custom particle sizes, ensures that it meets diverse application needs.
