MCrAlY on steel for general repair

[MVagusta]

Hi,

I've got some MCrAlY cans on my shelves and i was wondering if i could flame spray it on steel as bondcoat or as general repair material. I think it should act as a self bonding material as NiAl does, am i wrong?
I know it's a waste of money but at least i could use it...
I've already tested it and it fuses very well...

Thanks a lot for your help and thought.

Hi,
If you have a HVOF-burner is MCrAlY a good choice as a bond coat. In contrast, for NiAl bond coat is a plasma torch or simple flame spray technique better.

Hi,
I believe you can sell MCrAlY to some job shop in Europe and earn much more than by flame spraying it.
