No #5 can be sprayed with most metallizing guns using any fuel gas. Use on seal rings, casings, valve plugs. Use #5 for inside diameters where shrink is a problem or for thick coatings where other materials may crack. Parameters for spraying can be obtained from Spraying Instruction Manuals. Coatings may be machined or ground. Respiratory protection is recommended for spraying this material.
