Cold Metal Spray will be at UK Metal Expo 26 at the NEC, showcasing our cold spray application capabilities and leading discussions around this extraordinary metal additive manufacturing process — from repair and coatings to the experience behind them.
Asset Life Extension
Cold spray has proven exceptional when dealing with corrosion repairs, damage and wear, restoring components to full service. On the stand we'll be talking through:
- Metal restoration
- Casting repairs
- Corrosion repair and metal protection coatings
- Electrical and heat-transfer applications
- Corrosion protection
Kinetic Energy, Not Heat
Cold spray is a velocity metal coating process: metal particles are fired at high speed using only gas as a propellant, forming solid metal deposits while remaining in a single phase throughout application. The result is a bond created by kinetic energy, with no heat-affected zones (HAZ).
Advantages of Cold Metal Spray
- High bond strength
- No heat-affected zones (HAZ)
- No hot-works permit required
- Low porosity
- Low oxygen content
- No distortion
- Accurate spray path
- Mixed-metal and bi-metal coatings
- Excellent conductivity
