Arc Wire Spraying Bond Strength
Hello
I would like to rebuild a bearing journal 4inches diameter using the Arc Spraying. However I don't have the Bond wire instead I have the Eutectic Xuperbond powder that I use in powder flame spraying. The powder has the same alloy composition as the Bond wire . My question is , is it possible to use the Xuperbond powder then use 13% chrome wire for the top coat. Will the Bond be strong enough? Could the experts on the forum please help. Thanks ![]() | |||

RE: Arc Wire Spraying Bond Strength
My opinion/preference - I wouldn't use the flame then arc spray. As the 2 coatings will have different chemical strengths.
Depending on the application the bond strength of the stainless alone would probably be fine. Bond coat arc spray would have a bond strength of around 9000 psi, stainless may be around 6000 psi ? (dont quote me on those figures) so its still relatively high. As long as the coating isnt too thick i.e +0.030" then it would be fine if its just a straight forward bearing journal as there is no form of abrasion or significant wear on the coating. As long as you have a good blast profile then it should be fine. As I said the above is my personal opinion/preference other people on the sight may have a different opinion | |||

RE: Arc Wire Spraying Bond Strength
I would not recommend you flame spray for bond coat & finally arc spray for top coat. For bearing journals I think best option is Wire arc spray for both bond coat & top coat. Trying some other ways will be development work.
