Australia Manufacturing Offered Leadership in Cold Spray Technology

摘要

Cold spray technology, or cold gas-dynamic spray technology, is a revolutionary and rapidly emerging industrial coatings technology which offers wide opportunities for Australian manufacturing. Cold spray, or more appropriately 'room-temperature spray' technology, unlike traditional thermal spraying, applies metal and alloy particles at temperatures much lower than the melting temperature of either the coating or substrate. The distinguishing feature of cold spray is the ability to produce coatings with a gas jet temperature, which is lower than other processes such as powder flame, wire arc, plasma arc and high-velocity oxygen fuel. This eliminates the detrimental effects of high temperature on coatings and substrates.
