Susano Paper and Pulp, the Brazilia-based company that is the world's largest pulp producer, has warned that global pulp stocks have been falling sharply and are facing shortages that could lead to higher prices for necessities such as paper towels and toilet paper in the future.
Timber trade between Russia and Europe, an important supplier of timber to Europe, has been completely blocked due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, inhibiting the chromium oxide in the future are still very uncertain.
Chromium oxide (Cr2O3) is a kind of dark green powder with metallic luster and belongs to hexagonal or amorphous crystal. Cr2O3 melting point is 2265℃ ~ 2435℃ and Cr2O3 density is 5.2g/cm3. It is a neutral oxide.
Chromium oxide has good spraying process performance, its spraying process specification is wide, it is less sensitive to overheating during spraying, and the coating is not easy to crack when local overheating occurs. The spray coating is very dense and has high bonding strength with the substrate, so it is easy to be machined such as grinding and polishing.
However, the deposition efficiency of pure chromium oxide powder is low, which will increase the cost of the coating. The chromium oxide coating prepared by flame spraying or plasma spraying is dense and insoluble in acid, alkali and alcohol. After proper sealing treatment, the coating can be used in the environment with chemical corrosion medium.
Cr2O3 coatings properties
The chemical properties of plasma sprayed chromium oxide coating are very stable, insoluble in acid, alkali, salt and various solvents, excellent corrosion resistance to medium impregnation, high temperature erosion resistance to corrosive gases such as H2S and SO2, stable to atmosphere, fresh water, sea water and light, but soluble in hot sodium bromide solution. Chromium oxide coating has good hydrophilicity and a uniform water film is formed on the surface of the coating.
What are Cr2O3 coatings used for?
Cr2O3 coatings can be used as abrasive wear resistant coating, hard surface wear and erosion wear coating below 540℃, cavitation wear resistant coating, corrosion wear resistant coating for parts used in chemical media below 250℃ (need to be properly sealed), such as pistons, plungers, chemical machinery shafts, pump seals, wear-resistant rings, slide valves, cylinder linings, exhaust fans, polishing and polishing fixtures, etc. Fiber wear-resistant coating, such as guide wheel, friction wheel, roller roller of chemical fiber spinning machine, magnetic conductive and wear-resistant coating, such as tape recorder head, etc.
The sprayed Cr2O coating is dark dark green with strong covering ability and high and stable thermal emissivity in a wide range of off-line wavelengths. Commonly used in infrared radiation coating (such as electric heating pipe coating), high temperature magnetic conductive wear-resistant coating, etc.
