Item Name Code (INC) 20072
![]() |
A metallic powder used for coating metallic or nonmetallic surfaces by the welding process, to produce a surface resistant to abrasion and/or corrosion. It may be applied with an oxy-acetylene torch, furnace, or with a spray weld gun.
Additional Information for Metallic Overlay Welding Powder
Metallic overlay welding powder is a type of welding consumable used in the process of overlay welding. Overlay welding is a technique used to apply a protective layer of metal onto a base metal surface to enhance its properties or protect it from wear, corrosion, or other forms of damage.
The metallic overlay welding powder is typically composed of a mixture of metal powders, such as nickel, cobalt, or stainless steel, along with various fluxes and binders. These powders are designed to be melted and fused onto the base metal surface using a welding process, such as arc welding or oxy-fuel welding.
The choice of metallic overlay welding powder depends on the specific application and the desired properties of the overlay. Different powders have different characteristics, such as hardness, corrosion resistance, or heat resistance, which make them suitable for different types of overlay welding applications.
In the supply class Miscellaneous Welding, Soldering, And Brazing Supplies And Accessories, metallic overlay welding powder is categorized as a consumable product used in the metalworking industry. It is commonly used in conjunction with metalworking machinery, such as welding machines or torches, to perform overlay welding operations.
Overall, metallic overlay welding powder is a versatile and essential product in the metalworking industry, allowing for the enhancement and protection of metal surfaces through the overlay welding process.
