PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SS316 is a 316 stainless steel wire specifically designed for arc
spraying. It produces a dense, well-bonded coating with excellent
machinability and wear and corrosion resistance. SS316 is widely
used for machine element repair, dimensional restoration and wear
resistance applications. It has high shrink characteristics and
should not be used for coatings over 0.075 inches thick.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface should be clean, white metal, with no oxides (rust), dirt,
grease, or oil on the surface to be coated. Note: It is best not to
handle surfaces after cleaning.
Recommended method of preparation is to grit blast with 24 mesh
aluminum oxide, rough grind, or rough machine in a lathe.
