H.C. Starck Synthesizes Molybdenum Thermal Sprays Powders

molybdenum thermal spray powders pictureH.C. Starck's Fabricated Products Division (FPR) launches its molybdenum thermal spray powders, which are spherical and designed for maximum flowability. H.C. Starck's thermal spray powders are technologically advanced to improve and restore surfaces from large area coatings to small metal components that suffer from the effects of corrosion, erosion and wear usage.

Chemical Characteristics of molybdenum thermal spray powders: Mo (excluding gases) min. 99.8 %; Mass fraction in % (cg/g); ppm (μg/g) and physical characteristics: apparent Density 30 g/cubic inch minimum; Hall flow 35 s/50 g maximum. The powders can also be alloyed with carbon to synthesize any level of carbon content up to 6% (pure Mo2C).

“H.C. Starck is focused on providing refractory metal powder product solutions with the highest quality and performance. Our molybdenum thermal spray powders are optimized for diverse spraying processes such as plasma, flame, detonation and HVAF and HVOF for high velocity spray coating applications. To ensure quality and performance, we offer the best-in-class laboratory services with the latest in analytical tools, testing equipment, modeling and simulation software to assist our research engineers in evaluating product performance. These highly skilled engineers concentrate on providing texture control to enhance the uniformity and performance consistency of our powders," said Andreas Mader, CEO of the Fabricated Products Division.

H.C. Starck’s molybdenum thermal spray powders increase the lifetime of products by fixing ragged and damaged surfaces, and protecting against the destructive effects of wear, erosion, and corrosion. The company’s thermal spraying powders are produced by the disposition of powders that cover a substrate forming an even coating of contiguous layers.

H.C. Starck’s success in synthesizing molybdenum powders of the highest quality for thermal spray applications has been mainly driven by innovation. Diverse spraying processes include plasma, high-velocity air fuel (HVAF), flame, high-velocity oxy-fuel coating spraying (HVOF) and detonation.

The powders can be used in well-known transportation modes such as aircraft, automobiles, boats, and trains and in mining, chemical plants, earthmoving equipment, food manufacturing and packaging, power generation, and various applications that are vulnerable to environmental and usage effects.
