Coating Description
SHS 7170 HVOF is an iron based steel alloy with a nanoscale microstructure that features good combined wear, abrasion, impact and corrosion resistance with superior bond strength on many materials.

Key Performance Characteristics

Arrow Excels in high sulfur and elevated temperature environments where fly-ash and bed-ash erosion occurs
Arrow Very high bond strength across a range of substrate materials, including aluminum, copper, carbon steel and stainless steel
Arrow Cost-effective option for rebuilding worn out industrial components and parts
Arrow Alternative to nickel based alloys for corrosion resistance
Arrow Can be finished to very high surface specifications

 
SHS 7170 HVOF coatings exhibit combinations of good corrosion and wear resistance, high impact resistance and superior bond strength. SHS 7170 is especially resistant to elevated temperature sulfidation attack and is widely used for elevated temperature erosion/corrosion protection of heat exchange tubes in coal fired boilers. SHS 7170 can be used for very high specification surface finishes. Superior bond strength values signify that this material has exceptional adhesion and cohesion. High adhesion values highlight the extremely low residual stress (even at high thicknesses), an inherent factor in coatings of this type. High cohesion values mean that the probability of “pull-out” of individual particles during wear, erosion and other service conditions is extremely low. Low porosity means low coating permeability, resulting in a highly corrosion resistant barrier.
 
High Temperature Erosion Resistance
By offering a combination of high hardness and corrosion resistance in elevated temperature and high sulfur environments where fly-ash and bed-ash erosion occurs in coal fired boilers, SHS 7170 HVOF coatings are superior to nickel based superalloys and other coating materials for power generation industry applications. In laboratory tests measuring elevated temperature erosion using bed ash from a CFCB boiler to simulate real-world operating conditions, SHS 7170 HVOF coatings lasted 5 to 15 times longer than 1018 wrought steel plate depending on the angle of impingement.

High Bond Strength
When sprayed directly onto a substrate using conventional preparation practices and without a bond coat, SHS 7170 HVOF coatings feature very high bond strength with exceptional adhesion and cohesion. In ASTM C633-01 adhesion and cohesion strength tests, SHS 7170 HVOF coatings demonstrated very high bond strengths when sprayed at a high thickness of 40 mils on plain carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper substrates.
