Abstract
Abstract An improved thermal spray nickel base alloy powder which forms an extremely tenacious, dense corrosion resistant coating on metal parts subject to a corrosive environment. The disclosed thermal spray powder is a nickel base alloy having 20 to 40% by weight molybdenum, and 12 to 20% by weight chromium, and preferably includes 0 to 10% by weight iron and 0.03 to 2% by weight copper plus vanadium. The metal alloy powder is preferably formed by atomizing the molten alloy, and the coating is preferably formed by thermal or plasma spray.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A method of applying a corrosion resistant, extremely tenacious dense coating on metal parts subject to an acidic corrosive environment, said coating applied by thermal spraying a heated nickel base metal alloy powder on the surface of the metal part to be coated, said nickel base alloy powder having 20 to 40 percent by weight molybdenum, 12 to 20 percent by weight chromium, 0 to 10 percent by weight iron and 0.3 to 3 percent by weight copper plus vanadium.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
80 words
A method of applying a corrosion resistant, extremely tenacious dense coating on metal parts subject to an acidic corrosive environment, said coating applied by thermal spraying a heated nickel base metal alloy powder on the surface of the metal part to be coated, said nickel base alloy powder having 20 to 40 percent by weight molybdenum, 12 to 20 percent by weight chromium, 0 to 10 percent by weight iron and 0.3 to 3 percent by weight copper plus vanadium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method of applying a corrosion resistant alloy on metal parts, as defined in claim 1, wherein said metal alloy powder is produced by melting the alloy, then atomizing the molten metal alloy, forming an alloy metal powder having a particle size range suitable for thermal spraying.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
85 words
A method of forming a corrosion resistant extremely tenacious dense coating on a metal part which is to be exposed to a corrosive atmosphere, comprising: plasma spraying a powdered nickel base metal alloy on the metal part to be coated, said powdered metal alloy consisting essentially of 12 to 20% by weight chromium, 20 to 40% by weight molybdenum, 0 to 10% by weight iron, 0.3 to 3% by weight copper plus vanadium, additions and impurities up to 5% by weight, and the balance nickel.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
85 words
A method of forming a corrosion resistant extremely tenacious dense coating on a metal part which is to be exposed to a corrosive atmosphere, comprising: plasma spraying a powdered nickel base metal alloy on the metal part to be coated, said powdered metal alloy consisting essentially of 12 to 20% by weight chromium, 20 to 40% by weight molybdenum, 0 to 10% by weight iron, 0.3 to 3% by weight copper plus vanadium, additions and impurities up to 5% by weight, and the balance nickel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
The method of forming a corrosion resistant coating on a metal part as defined in claim 3, wherein said powdered nickel base metal alloy is produced by melting the alloy, then atomizing the molten metal alloy to form an alloy metal powder having a particle size range suitable for plasma spraying and wherein said metal alloy has 3 to 10% by weight iron.
