PMET 720
Arc Spray Wire

DESCRIPTION PMet 720 is a 420 stainless steel wire, specifically designed for arc spray processes. PMet 720 forms a dense, well bonded coating, with excellent wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. It is widely used for machine elements repair, dimensional restoration, and wear resistant application. PMet 720s low shrink rate characteristics, allows for increased coating thickness on parts requiring heavier coatings. TYPICAL DEPOSIT CHARACTERISTICS: Abrasion Resistance Corrosion Resistance Typical Hardness Bond Strength Deposit Rate Deposit Efficiency Wire Coverage Coating Shrink Rate Excellent Good HRC 40-45 6500 psi 10 lbs /hr/100A 70% 0.8oz/sq.ft/mil Low SURFACE PREPARATION: Surface should be clean, white metal, with no oxides (rust), dirt, grease, or oil on the surface to be coated. Note: It is best not to handle surfaces after cleaning. Recommended method of preparation is, to grit blast with 24 mesh aluminum oxide, rough grind, or rough machine in a lathe.
