Cold-spray: Innovative technology for rapid part repair, in production and in the field<\/h5>\n

What if you could repair or coat metal without applying heat?<\/p>\n

Cold-spray projects metallic powder particles at high velocity onto a surface, allowing the material to fully retain its properties.<\/p>\n

From copper to Inconel 718, deployable on location \u2014 and a step beyond anything thermal spray or HVOF can offer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
