STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS   

 

The standards and specifications listed below relate to the application and qualification of solid state spraying processes. While few users would find relevance in every document, the list is provided to identify documents that may be useful from design through procurement, manufacturing, quality control, and maintenance.
 
At this point, there is only one standard that has been written specifically to address Cold Spray technology. The U.S. Department of Defense MIL-STD-3021, Materials Deposition, Cold Spray standard is available for free download in PDF format from the U.S. DoD ASSIST (Acquisition Steamlining and Standardization Information System) website. A PDF download link and link to the ASSIST site are provided in the table below.
 
The documents in the following table are arranged by Standard Developer Organization (SDO) and the links provided will take you to the relevant SDO website page for more information. For those who may not be familiar with the listed SDOs, a table has been provided at the bottom of this page with the full organization name and website URL.
 
CenterLine makes no warranty that this list is complete or that the document number shown is the most current or relevant issue or version. Most documents are available for purchase from organizations other than those identified here.
