Key Performance Characteristics

 
SHS 7700 TWAS coatings feature high impact resistance and excellent wear protection across a range of environments. Superior bond strength values signify that SHS 7700 has exceptional adhesion and cohesion. High adhesion values highlight extremely low residual stress (even at high thicknesses) inherent in this coating type. High cohesion values mean the probability of “pull-out” of individual particles is extremely low during wear, erosion and other service conditions. Also contributing to high bond strength is the very limited presence of oxides, internal voids and defects. These characteristics provide predictable coating performance across a broad range of service environments.

High Wear Resistance
When compared to existing competing TWAS wires, SHS 7700 microstructures formed in as-sprayed or fully devitrified states provide excellent resistance to wear. When sprayed using benchmark parameters, SHS 7700 forms an amorphous matrix which contains hard-complex borocarbide nanoscale precipitates.

Ability to Rebuild Worn Components/Parts
Under the right conditions, SHS 7700 can be sprayed up to 0.06” (1.52 mm) thick as a cost-effective option for rebuilding worn out components and parts.
