Corrosion & Damage Repair
Cold spray is highly effective for recovering corroded, eroded and damaged components — with no heat input and no practical limit to the depth of material that can be built up.
Cold spray is highly effective for recovering corroded, eroded and damaged components — with no heat input and no practical limit to the depth of material that can be built up.
From deep erosion to cavitation, porosity and worn mould tooling, cold spray rebuilds lost material without adding heat — so components are recovered rather than scrapped, and in some cases repaired while still in service.
Deep erosion damage can be repaired, as there is no limit to the depth of material that can be built up using our cold metal spray process.
Pumps, faces, shafts — in fact any surface that needs building up due to cavitation erosion can be repaired and returned to service.
Porosity often occurs within castings, new or used. Cold spray is a very effective repair method, and one major advantage is being able to carry out the repair while the component is still in service — even when it still contains fluid.
We use cold spray for early intervention on wear and damage to prolong tooling life, and for modifications to injection, extrusion, blow and casting mould tooling across a wide range of applications.
Components are rebuilt cold, avoiding distortion and metallurgical change to the base material.
There is no practical limit to how much material can be deposited, so deep damage is recoverable.
Some porosity and leak repairs can be carried out in situ, even with fluid still present.
Early intervention on wear and corrosion keeps expensive components and tooling working for longer.
There is no practical limit — material can be deposited to whatever depth the repair requires, then machined back to the finished dimension.
In many cases, yes. Porosity and leak repairs in particular can often be carried out in situ, even when the component still contains fluid.
Erosion, cavitation, corrosion, porosity and general wear on pumps, shafts, faces, castings and mould tooling are all routinely repaired.
No. Because there is no heat input, there is no heat-affected zone or metallurgical change to the parent material.
