The use of high pressure cold spray for metal deposition has skyrocketed since the process was invented in Russia in the 1980s. Unlike conventional repair methods like welding, cold spray is a solid-state method. It does not heat the material to its melting point. A process like this can extend operating life through reliable repairs… Continue reading What Are the Limitations of Cold Spray?
Today, many industries are still using thermal spray systems instead of cold spray systems to repair and update equipment. However, the thermal spray system is a more traditional approach that has been in use for more than 100 years. If you’re looking for a more modern and innovative way to repair your original equipment, you’ll… Continue reading The Difference Between Cold Spray Systems and Thermal Spray Systems
Cold Spray was a Soviet discovery. Cold spray technology first originated from research studies conducted in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. The researchers responsible for the discovery of cold spray were working at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk, Siberia. Those… Continue reading The History of Cold Spray Technology
Have you heard of cold spray and wondered how it might apply to your industry? Are you searching for an easier or faster way to make metal surface repairs? Cold spray metal repair might just be the ticket. Because of its ease and flexibility, cold spray metal repair is useful across a wide variety of… Continue reading What Is Cold Spray Used For?
If you are familiar with the thermal spray industry, then you have heard of cold spray manufacturing. Cold spray is the lowest temperature thermal spray and has the highest velocity of all the spray processes. But what makes the use of cold spray manufacturing essential? If you are starting a new project or using cold… Continue reading What Is Cold Spray?
Many industries consider sheet metal fabrication a complex blend of art and science, requiring finesse to achieve the desired results. If you have ever attempted aircraft skin repair, you have undoubtedly done something to that metal and then noticed that it had an unexpected effect somewhere else. Getting unwanted shrinking and stretching where you didn’t… Continue reading Aircraft Skin Repair Basics: Panel Repair
