Application by Fusewelder:
Application Methods: Colmonoy 69 powder is applied by Fusewelder or
Colmonoy 69 alloys are easily applied to all steels similar torch. The Fuseweld Process is a coating
having less than .25% carbon, gray cast iron; application method to apply metallurgically bonded
Meehanite, malleable, ingot and wrought iron; nickel, coatings to the edges and corners of molds and

Chromelb. Most high-temperature alloys can be augers and centrifuge scrolls, keyways, splines, and
overlaid without special precautions. cams can all be efficiently coated or rebuilt with this
process.
Steel having more than .25% carbon can also be
overlaid, but requires controlled slow cooling after
fusion, in suitable insulation such as Sil-O-Cel,
mica, etc. Generally, do not apply to ferrous metals
that require subsequent hardening and tempering,
because the dimensional change associated with the
formation of martensite will crack the deposits of
Colmonoy 69.
Process JP 5000 Dry lapping can be used to give the alloy an excellent
finish. Silicon carbide, boron carbide and diamond
dust are all capable of cutting the Colmonoy coating,

Safety:
When handling powders do so in such a way to avoid
creating a dust cloud; avoid inhalation or contact with
skin or eyes. Conduct coating operations in a properly
ventilated area. For more information, consult 11.8

Storage Requirements:
Keep thermal spray powders in a closed container
and protect against moisture pick-up. The containers
should be tumbled before using the powder. If moisture
is absorbed from the atmosphere, it can be removed
and flowability can be restored by drying the powder,
with the seal removed and lid loosened, at 150-200°F
for two hours prior to use.
