Product Description
Grade OH903 is a fine nickel powder produced via hydrogen reduction, with additional processing to yield a product which is -325 mesh. OH903 can be used in various industrial applications such as thermal spray consumables, friction materials, superabrasives, hot dip galvanizing, chemical feed stock, additive manufacturing (AM) and more. It is equivalent to nickel powder used under Pratt & Whitney PWA 1324, Canada Pratt & Whitney CPW224, and U.S. Military USAF 67A60753A Type P4.

Common Uses:
FRICTION MATERIALS
Grade OH903 (alternatively Grade OH900) is mixed with other raw materials to form sintered metal brakes used by off-road vehicles, heavy industrial, and motorcycles. Nickel Grade OH903 can improve the quality in these cases.
Hunter has other nickel powder products used in friction material and superabrasive applications. Click here for information on Grade OH900 and here for information on Grade AH50.
HOT DIP Galvanizing
The high surface area of Grade OH903 leads to more efficient use of nickel compared to other nickel powders more commonly used in the industry. If you have a large project, using Nickel Grade OH903 is a better option.
Hunter’s Nickel Powder Grade OH902S is commonly used by hot dip galvanizers too. Click here for additional information
