1. The Hidden Hazard of Batch Difference in Spray Powder
Batch stability is the core hidden index distinguishing professional spray powder manufacturers and ordinary material traders. Most secondary suppliers fail to control atomization temperature, raw material ratio and post-treatment process strictly, leading to obvious differences between new batch and old batch powder. For automated assembly line spraying factories, tiny powder difference will change spraying flame melting state, resulting in unqualified coating thickness, bonding force and surface compactness, bringing huge hidden risks to batch production quality.
“Batch repeatability is the top quality standard for industrial-grade thermal spray powder, not only basic chemical composition.” — Global Surface Material Testing Center
