PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Nickel is a high purity nickel wire specifically designed for arc spraying. Nickel produces dense, well-bonded coatings with excellent machineability, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is widely used for machine element repair applications requiring high corrosion resistance.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface should be clean, white metal, with no oxides (rust), dirt, grease, or oil on the surface to be coated. Note: It is best not to handle surfaces after cleaning.
Recommended method of preparation is to grit blast with 24 mesh aluminum oxide, rough grind, or rough machine in a lathe.
