U.S. Cold Spray is scaling cold spray to support larger build envelopes and higher deposition rates, reducing fabrication times and costs for large, near-net-shaped structures to support areas such as shipbuilding, heavy machinery, and infrastructure repair.

To support remote, expeditionary operations, U.S. Cold Spray is developing miniaturized, portable cold spray systems designed for rapid component restoration at the point-of-need, minimizing logistical costs and downtime of critical assets.

Beyond conventional metallic coatings, U.S. Cold Spray often leverages ceramics in cold-sprayed composite structures. We are developing these next-generation metal-ceramic coatings with enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and thermal protection for applications in aerospace, power generation, and other extreme-environment components, such as turbine blades and thermal shields.

To improve precision, consistency, and efficiency, U.S. Cold Spray is developing robot-assisted cold spray deposition and in-line inspection technologies with real-time data analytics to comply with the rigorous quality assurance standards of aerospace, defense, and medical applications.

Moving beyond simple patch repairs, we are refining cold spray techniques to restore and enhance complex, precision-engineered parts, extending their lifetime and reducing lifecycle costs and material consumption.

We are pioneering functionally graded materials by leveraging cold spray to seamlessly transition between dissimilar metals within a single component. This enables custom-engineered solutions for aerospace, energy, and defense applications where improved multi-functional properties are desired in a single part, such as lightweighting with aluminum and corrosion protection with stainless steels in the same product.
