Metco 450NS is a general purpose material for restoration of worn or mismachined components. They are also used as bond coats for OEM-specified and general industrial applications under top coats such as ceramics and compressor abradables. Nickel aluminum coatings have good oxidation resistance up to 800 C (1470 F). Metco 450NS exhibits an exothermic reaction during the spray process and are considered self-bonding to steel substrates. These powders are mechanical clad composites of aluminum and nickel. Metco 450NS is designed to be applied using atmospheric plasma spray or combustion powder Thermospray processes.""
