Electronic devices, including those in telecommunications and high-power systems, generate heat during normal operation. That heat must be dissipated to avoid junction temperatures exceeding tolerable ...

Ellsworth Air Force Base now has a quicker and more cost-effective way to repair panels on B-1s. It’s called cold spray technology. “We take fine metallic powder and we ramp it up with really high ...

Cold spray coating is a solid‐state deposition process in which fine powders are accelerated to high velocities and directed onto substrates, forming dense, adherent coatings without melting the ...

An international team of researchers has solved a puzzling phenomenon whereby strangely beautiful, vortex-like structures appear between materials deposited onto engineering components used in ...

The Australian Navy is researching cold spray, a form of additive manufacturing, to repair submarines. The tech blasts surfaces with tiny bits of metal at high speed, binding it to a surface. The ...

Cold spray process applies powdered metal at a highly accelerated velocity – the speed of sound or faster – on a surface using an applicator and nozzle quickly and effectively. (Janes) The US Navy ...

The new material, created by spraying a tantalum coating on stainless steel, can withstand extreme conditions inside fusion reactors. This advancement enables more efficient fusion reactors that are ...

Victor Champagne has always been a planner. The 60-year-old additive manufacturing lead of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory went into engineering because it was a practical choice. “Before going into ...

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) are providing valuable insights into the cold spray deposition process, offering information that other ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...
