Polymet manufactures the highest quality wire in the world for both twin wire arc spray and flame spray operations. Polymet produces over 35 alloys for thermal spray applications. Below is a full list of Thermal Spray Wire Other Alloys offered by Polymet.
PMET 540
Details
Characteristics and Composition
PMET 540 is a 99.99% pure zinc wire specifically designed for spraying in arc spray and flame spray systems. It produces a dense, well bonded coating that is ideal for corrosion protection of steel, electrical conductivity, applications and mold making. It is also used as a bond coat when spraying metals onto non-metallic substrates.
Equivalent to:
TAFA 02Z
Rockwell Hardness 65-70 B Diameter (in)-1/16, 1/8, (mm)-1.6, 3.2
