Testing and Quality Control of Molybdenum thermal spray wire

FAQ of Molybdenum thermal spray wire
What is the delivery method?
A: Generally, we send cargo by UPS, DHL, or FedEx. Also, we can send by sea to a seaport or by air to the closest airport.
Why is your product so cost-effective?
A: We cut out the middlemen in the end-to-end manufacturing process. Rather than obtaining semi-finished goods from other suppliers, we obtain our raw material of APT powder directly from its source.
Do you do spot quality inspection or full inspection?
A: 100% full inspection. Inspectors will check the finished product individually to ensure it adheres to all parameters. All unqualified products are discarded.
How do you ensure your lead time?
A: We have an efficient Order Management System, from material preparation to machining, and finally to a full inspection. Every stage of production is strictly monitored and controlled to give you an accurate delivery time.
What is the MOQ of Pure Molybdenum Thermal Spray Wire For Galling And Scuffing Resistance?
A: Depends on quantity, generally, no MOQ limit.
How to pay for it?
A: A bank transfer (T/T) will be acceptable.
What is the delivery time?
A: around 7-20 days, which depends on the quantity and production.
What kind of package is it?
A: Generally, we use a carton case or a plywood case with protective material inside to ensure the safety of cargo.
What is the lead time?
A: From the order placed to cargo receiving will take around 10-25 days.
What are the available sizes and packaging options?
The wire is available in various diameters (e.g., 1.6mm, 2.0mm, 2.3mm) and can be supplied in spools or coils to suit different thermal spray equipment requirements.
How does molybdenum coating compare to other wear-resistant coatings?
Unlike chromium or tungsten carbide coatings, molybdenum offers:
Better self-lubricating properties in high-temperature sliding applications.
Lower risk of hydrogen embrittlement (unlike chrome plating).
Cost-effectiveness for applications requiring moderate wear and corrosion resistance.
Can molybdenum coatings be applied to any metal surface?
Yes, molybdenum coatings bond well with steel, cast iron, and some superalloys. Proper surface preparation (grit blasting, cleaning) is essential for optimal adhesion.
What is the typical coating thickness for molybdenum spray coatings?
Typical thickness ranges from 50 to 500 microns, depending on the application requirements.
Does molybdenum coating require post-treatment?
In most cases, no post-treatment is needed. However, some applications may benefit from sealing or grinding for improved surface finish.
How does molybdenum perform in high-temperature environments?
Molybdenum retains its strength and wear resistance at elevated temperatures (up to 1,200°C in non-oxidizing environments), making it ideal for engine and aerospace components.
