Thermal Spray & Cermet Powders

Thermal-spray and cermet composite powder inquiries. The spray process, feedstock architecture and particle window belong in the same specification.

Powder material specimens; appearance reference

Choose a material

Carbide-metal spray powders

Choose WC-Co, WC-Co-Cr or Cr3C2-NiCr, then the required binder content and powder architecture. Include the spray process and its particle-size window.

Oxide spray powders

Alumina-titania and YSZ require distinct composition and phase briefs. Compare fused/crushed or agglomerated/sintered feedstock using the requirements of the spray equipment.

Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

Composition & architecture

State the carbide/metal or oxide system, binder ratio and whether the material is blended, fused/crushed or agglomerated/sintered.

Process compatibility

Identify HVOF, HVAF, plasma or another intended process and equipment constraints. Similar chemistry does not establish feeder or gun compatibility.

Feedstock quality

Define particle distribution, flow, apparent density and the coating/evaluation protocol where applicable.

Before you choose

Can I buy thermal-spray powder using composition alone?

Composition leaves the feedstock architecture and particle requirements unresolved. Share the process and equipment window before comparing candidate grades.

What does this directory cover?

Loose elemental/carbide powder, finished coatings and spraying services are separate requirements. Coating results are not guaranteed from a powder listing.

What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

  • Composite formula and component ratios
  • Powder manufacturing route and morphology
  • Particle window, flow and density requirements
  • Spray process, substrate and evaluation brief

Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
