I was asked to go through a recently deceased
fellows shop a couple
weeks ago by the surviving family member, and
have been catagorizing
and whatnot some of the Stuff. He was a retired
electrician/handyman/hobbyist and had a rather
eclectic mix of Stuff.

She told me I could take what I wanted..and that
to a Scrounger...was
pure music.

Among some of the goodies I schleped home today
(not counting the mint
Trans-Oceanic Royal D7000 and the Pentax ME
Super) was a rather
interesting tool box..designed to be wall
mounted...containing a wierd
looking O/A type torch and 7 bottles of some
sorts of metal powders,
along with various bottles of fluxes.

Unfortunately..the manuals and data cards (all
neatly in their proper
racks..are stuck together..so I may have to try
to steam them apart.

Im assuming this is for flame spraying of
various metal coatings?

Full bottle of

Cuprotec 10180

Borotec 10009

Nitec 10224

Bronzochrome 10186

Bronzochrome 10185 (half full)

Chrometec 10680 (only a little left)

about a half bottle of powder inside the box
itself..something
spilled.


What do I have, and how do I use it? It would be
nice to be able to
build up worn things such as shafts and so
forth. I do have an OD
grinder.

Any info would be appreciated

Gunner, I think you may have a "Eutectic " brand
torch and powders for building up worn shafts. I
bought on a long time ago when I was Plant
Engineer at a brewery in a country that didn't
have much infrastructure. They also made one for
building up flat surfaces as well. The shafts were
chucked in an old lathe( the stuff is pretty
abrasive and preheated with just the flame to
about 400 deg F. Then the powder was applied by
the opening a valve on the gun. It reacted in the
flame and stuck to the shaft quite well. we had
one power that was a beauty for building up shafts
that ran in packed glands. It was hard as hell so
wore really well.
The flat surface build up gun worked in a similar
manner except that the powder was heated after it
was applied so that it flowed like a solder. It
to, worked well for some applications.

you might Google for the manufacturers name .
They are usually quite helpful. They make their
fortune by selling the powder. It was expensive
stuff!
