Thermal Spray Cored Wire Products: Metco 8238
1 Introduction
Metcoloy wires are chromium steel alloys that contain other alloying elements like nickel, manganese and
molybdenum, etc., that enhance their excellent corrosion and wear resistance. Wires with additional molybdenum content offer good resistance in hot and cold
sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, vinegar and sulfur dioxide vapor. These wires are exclusively manufactured for
the electric arc wire and combustion wire thermal spray
processes.
Metcoloy wires are most suitable for salvage and restoration. They are successfully used on machine elements
such as journal surfaces of all kinds, cylinder liners, pistons, valve stems, pump plungers, impellers, hydraulic
rams, valve plugs, printing and paper rolls, etc.
Metco 8238 is a cored wire that contains an alloy filler
material to provide special properties. Metco 8238 produces coatings with high adhesion to the base metal,
low oxide content and good protection to friction and
erosion. The coatings also offer high thermal shock
resistance up to 600 C (1000 F).

Key Selection Criteria
Metcoloy 1 is a good choice for applications where

high machinability and corrosion protection is required.
As this is a high shrink material, it is recommended for
use in grooves greater than 0.8 mm (0.03 in).
Metcoloy 2 is recommended for applications that
require a hard coating with good wear resistance and
corrosion protection. It is a low shrink material. It is
the best choice for coating curved surfaces such as
small diameter shafts. Using the combustion wire
spray process, Metcoloy 2 can be sprayed very thick,

greater than 13 mm (0.5 in), which provides a considerable wear reserve for use in applications such as
hydroelectric plants.
Metcoloy 4 can be used in applications that require
resistance or organic and non-oxidizing organic acids
at high temperatures. It can also be used in marine
environments and is often chosen for resurfacing rolls
for paper production.

Key Selection Criteria (continued)
Metcoloy 5 is recommended for applications where

high corrosion resistance and relatively low wear protection are required. Coatings of Metcoloy 5 exhibit
low shrink and are recommend for internal diameters,
particularly where thick coatings are needed. Using
the combustion wire spray process, Metcoloy 5 coatings can be sprayed thicker than Metcoloy 1 coatings,
but not as thick as Metcoloy 2 coatings. Metcoloy 5
2.4
is good for general machine element work including

hydraulic rams, rolls and for applications in the food
industry.
Metco 8238 is recommended for applications requiring good protection against friction, erosion and thermal shock protection at temperatures up to 600 C
(1000 F).

For low temperature applications requiring erosion
or cavitation resistance, Diamalloy 1003 is premium
grade nickel-chromium stainless steel thermal spray
powder applied using the HVOF spray process.
Metcoloy 33 is a nickel-based steel wire that can be

used when high heat resistance is required.
Metco 8295 is a iron-based wire that can be used
when coatings harder than Metcoloy 2 are required.
Metco 41C is a thermal spray powder that is similar

in chemistry and use to Diamalloy 1003, but sized for
application by atmospheric plasma spray or combustion powder Thermospray.
Metco 42C is a stainless steel powder that can be applied using the combustion powder Thermospray or
atmospheric plasma spray processes. This materials
is used primarily for repair and wear applications.
Metco 450P is a combustion powder spray material for

oxidation resistant bond coats up to 800 C (1470 F).
For corrosive wear applications below 650 C (1200

F), Diamalloy 1008 is a stainless steel powder that
can be applied using the HVOF spray process.

Coating Information
Key Thermal Spray Coating Information
Coating properties can vary significantly as they are

dependant on the chosen equipment, gun hardware,
coating parameters and coating thickness.
When properly applied, these coatings are designed
to achieve the surface hardness necessary for good
wear resistance appropriate for the applications discussed in Section 1.1.
In general, deposit efficiencies of 70% can be

achieved, when correctly sprayed.
Coatings are readily machined for dimensional control
and fair surface finishes are achievable.
See Section 2.3 for additional coating selection
criteria.
These coatings are corrosion resistant for various

environments, as defined in Section 2.3.
