Metco 15F is a self-fluxing alloy that produces dense, pore-free deposits with a typical hardness of HRC 60, with high wear and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for thin coatings where a smooth as-deposited surface requiring little stock removal after fusing and superior thickness control is needed. It fuses at approximately 993 °C with expected shrink of about 17%. Laser cladding application is preferred; however, puddle welding is also possible. Diamond (preferred) or SiC grind to finish.
