Amdry 313X, Metco 63NS Classification Pure metal, molybdenum-based Chemical formula Mo 99.0 %+ 1 Introduction Amdry™ 313X and Metco™ 63NS are pure molybdenum Manufacture Various (see Section 2.3) powders designed to produce dense, well-bonded coatings Morphology Spheroidal or irregular applied using atmospheric plasma spray. Apparent density 5.8 – 5.9 g/cm3 Melting point 2620 °C (4748 °F) Coatings of molybdenum provide good frictional properties Service temperature 340 °C (650 °F) and scuff resistance as a result of an adherent, oxide surface Purpose Wear and scuff resistance layer that forms rapidly after spraying. The coatings are also Process Atmospheric plasma spray hard and lubricious in nature, offering excellent dry-running properties. They are, therefore, often used in applications to resist fretting and sliding wear.
Coatings of these materials can be used at service tempera-
tures up to 340 °C (650 °F). Coatings should not be used at higher service temperatures, as the molybdenum can oxidize rapidly.
Properly applied, Amdry 313X and Metco 63NS are
self-bonding to steel substrates. They can be used on mag- nesium alloy or aluminum alloy substrates with proper pre- coat surface preparation to eliminate substrate surface ox- ides. Molybdenum coatings are not compatible with copper or copper alloy substrates.
