Deloro™ 22 is a pre-alloyed gas atomised nickel based powder which is used primarily for the local repair and hardfacing of glass forming molds. It can also be used as a tough build-up alloy for the edges of cast iron and steel components.

Deloro™ 22 is typically deposited as a machinable, non-magnetic spray-fuse (SF) or powder weld deposited overlay. It is similar to Deloro™ 25, but is slightly softer, and is easily finished by hand.

Like the other Deloro™ nickel base alloys, its wear resistance is mainly due to the presence of hard boride and silicide phases, and it retains its properties up to about 315°C (600°F). Because of its relatively low melting point it is easily fused to form a smooth hard-wearing surface.
