COLD SPRAY

APPLICATION EXAMPLE

unprocessed
damaged area

This damage originates from our client’s production process.

After
cold spray

The appropriate powder was selected for the repair using cold spray.

after
mechanical processing

To restore the original contour of the component, a mechanical machining was carried out.

What is cold spray?

Cold Spray is a powder coating process that offers diverse possibilities for processing various materials such as metal and steel components, glass, ceramics, and many types of plastics. Due to the high kinetic energy of the powder particles upon impact on the substrate (base material), high temperatures are not required to produce homogeneous and strongly adhering layers.

This innovative process enables us to build very thin layers (in the range of hundredths of millimeters) as well as layers up to several centimeters thick. The geometry of the component to be coated typically does not pose an obstacle.

Furthermore, we can closely match the basic properties of the substrate and have the opportunity to improve them as needed (material refinements and layers for wear protection).

As a result, you have the possibility, among other things, of not having to replace components that may need to be scrapped with new or replacement parts. The size and weight of the component are irrelevant to us.

After selecting an appropriate powder or powder mixture, we prepare the component for spraying and, if necessary, carry out mechanical post-processing. Depending on the component’s geometry and surface requirements, the finished spray layers can be machined very well (e.g., by turning, milling, grinding). We also offer the possibility to restore free forms.

APPLICATION RANGE
OF THE COLD SPRAY PROCESS

  • Repair of valuable tools (e.g., from machining, tooling, and agricultural machinery)

  • Improvement of wear resistance and extension of the life cycle of components

  • Applicable in engines, machinery, and plant construction, aerospace engineering, as well as electronics and electrical engineering

  • Production of electrically conductive coatings (e.g., on plastic, glass, and ceramics)

  • Restoration of original dimensions and component contours (e.g., in additive manufacturing)

  • Repair of defective components from the production process

  • Corrosion protection and refinement of components

… and many other possibilities.

ADVANTAGES OF THE
COLD SPRAY PROCESS

  • Innovative powder coating, e.g. for repairs, refinements, wear protection and additive manufacturing

  • Applicable to nearly all metals, glass, ceramics, and many types of plastics

  • Applications of various powder specifications

  • No melting or fusion of the substrate

  • No additional heat input

  • Low porosity of the spray layers (< 5 %)

  • Excellent heat and electrical conductivity as well as temperature resistance (up to 1.200 °C) achievable

  • Adhesion tensile strengths up to 60 MPa

  • Paintable surfaces producible
