Many repair processes have been developed over the years for damaged parts, but these may induce undesirable thermal stresses resulting in premature failure.
Over the past several decades, experts from around the world have been looking for alternatives. One innovative solution is a process called Cold Spray – an additive manufacturing process that uses metal powders accelerated to supersonic speeds to restore the original substrate without inducing thermal stresses.
The cold spray repair process is being widely used in the automotive, industrial, and industrial marketplaces and is ideal for aerospace materials like aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and other alloys.
