Hello,
what about other coatings such as TiO2, Cr2O3 on titanium and duplex parts?. I would like to remove them without blasting.
Cheers,
Hugo
: : Dear all,
: : We need to weld some Ni-Fe-Cr compressor blades that are coated with tungsten carbide HVOF. What is the best way to remove these coatings? Thanks for any help you can provide
: Hi Paul
: Electrolytic method:
: 20% sodium carbonate
: 5% tartaric acid
: 75% water
: temperature 70-80 degree C
: Stainless steel cathode, coated part anode
: current density 4-8 amps/sq in @ 6 volts DC
: Chemical/mechanical method:
: Various commercial nickel strip solutions may be used to degrade the coating in conjunction with mechanical methods such as gentle grit blasting.
: Mechanical methods such as grit blasting or very high pressure water jet blasting may be necessary if chemical or electrolytic methods fail.
: What ever method you choose it would be advisable to conduct tests first, to ensure effective coating removal with minimal damage to substrate.
: Regards Gordon
