Define what the layer must do
Dimensional restoration, corrosion protection and electrical contact performance need different checks. Start with the function, substrate and service conditions before narrowing the grade.

17 materials
| Grade | Composition | Purpose | Typical use | Selection check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| K-714 | Nickel + zinc + aluminium oxide | Protection | Heat-resistant steel coatings; metal mould restoration | Qualify temperature, adhesion and final dimensions. |
| K-32 | Nickel + aluminium oxide | Conductivity | Electrical contact surfaces; corrosion- and heat-resistance trials on steel | Measure contact resistance and qualify the service environment. |
| T-25 / T2-00-05 | Tin + aluminium oxide | Conductivity | Coatings for electrical connector contact areas | Verify contact resistance, corrosion behaviour and mating surfaces. |
| B-83-100-40 | Babbitt blend | Repair | Restoration of sliding-bearing surfaces | Confirm bearing alloy, nozzle set, clearance and lubrication requirements. |
| K-00-04-16 | Aluminium oxide (alumina) | Preparation | Abrasive cleaning and preparation of steel or cast iron | A preparation abrasive, not a metallic build-up powder. |
| K-01-11 / C-01-11 | Copper + zinc + aluminium oxide | Repair | Local defect filling; bearing-seat restoration in steel or cast iron | Verify bond strength and machining allowance. Crack filling is not structural qualification. |
| K-00-11 / Z-00-11 | Zinc + aluminium oxide | Protection | Local corrosion protection on steel, including weld areas | Check preparation, coating continuity and exposure conditions. |
| K-01-01 / C-01-01 | Copper + aluminium oxide | Conductivity | Conductive contacts and solderable underlayers | Match the substrate; test resistance, bonding and solder wetting. |
| K-10-04 / A-10-04 | Aluminium + aluminium oxide | Bond layers | Primer layer before copper or nickel deposition on ceramics | Test the entire layer stack and its adhesion to the actual ceramic. |
| K-10-01 / A-10-01 | Aluminium + aluminium oxide | Protection | Aluminium surface restoration and corrosion-protection trials | Check alloy compatibility, thickness and corrosion performance. |
| K-20-11 / A-20-11 | Aluminium + zinc + aluminium oxide | Repair | Local build-up and sealing trials on radiators and heat exchangers | Pressure-retaining components require an approved repair and leak/pressure testing. |
| K-80-13 / A-80-13 | Aluminium + zinc + aluminium oxide | Repair | Local restoration of damaged aluminium, steel or cast-iron surfaces | Ask which grade suits the job; do not assume the two Al/Zn blends are interchangeable. |
| A-20-10 | Aluminium + zinc | Conductivity | Conductive coating development on glass | Use representative glass coupons; verify adhesion and thermal sensitivity. |
| C-03-10 | Copper + zinc | Conductivity | Conductive, solderable coating development on glass | Check glass compatibility, bonding and soldering conditions. |
| C-01-00 | Copper | Conductivity | Thin copper layers for soldering | Verify achievable thickness, solderability and substrate bonding. |
| A-1MC | Aluminium + aluminium oxide | Repair | Aluminium wheel and rim surface restoration | Cosmetic surface work does not certify structural wheel repair. |
| K/A-30-01 | Aluminium + aluminium oxide | Repair | Scratch and surface-defect restoration on aluminium wheels/rims | Confirm grade selection and the approved limits of the component repair. |

How to choose: start with the coating function and substrate, then confirm the exact grade, particle-size distribution, compatible nozzle and process window. Mixed powders are not equivalent to pure metal powders.
Before ordering: confirm the exact mixture, particle-size distribution, current availability and compatible equipment with BaltiCold Spray. Request the technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS). Listed application directions require a representative trial.
