CenterLine (Windsor) Limited’s, Mo Karimi, took
top honours in the student competition at the Canadian Cold Spray
Conference in Boucherville, Quebec (June 15- 17, 2010) for his poster
Numerical Simulation of Gas Flow in Shockwave Induced Spray Process.
The conference was hosted by the National Research Council's Industrial
Materials Institute and attracted leaders in industry and research from
11 countries.
Karimi conducted computer simulations to analyze a new coating process
that promises to offer a more efficient alternative to current cold
spray technologies.

Army Research Laboratory Report.
The Army Research
Laboratory has released its August 2009 report titled:
Cold
Spray Process Development for the Reclamation of the Apache Helicopter
Mast Support (report# ARL-TR-4922). This report outlines ARL's
findings in evaluating CenterLine's Cold Spray as a repair technology
for corrosion damage.
The abstract to the
report states:
"The
U.S. Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, has
developed a novel process for repairing and rebuilding damaged aluminum
components using Supersonic Particle Deposition, commonly referred to as
cold spray. A Centerline Model No. SSM-P3300 Portable Cold Spray
Deposition System was used to deposit a highly adherent, dense aluminum
composite material to repair corrosion damage pits and rebuild the snap
ring groove and gear teeth on the mast support on an Army helicopter.
ARL performed microstructural analysis as well as adhesion, fatigue, and
corrosion tests to evaluate the characteristics of the cold spray
aluminum composite coatings. The cold spray deposited material was
subsequently machined using conventional machining tools to
dimensionally restore the component to its original condition. Final
testing and approval for implementation of this repair procedure is in
progress."
The report concludes that:
• It is recommended that the Centerline Cold Spray System be considered
as a viable means to produce aluminum composite coatings to reclaim
7075-T6 aluminum Apache Mast
Supports in non-structural areas.
• For repairs that require higher impact velocity and/or alternative
coating materials, such as 6061 aluminum or other alloys, it is
recommended that a stationary cold spray system be
used.

Shockwave Induced Spraying: A New Cost-effective Solid-State Spraying
Process
ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
What is
Shockwave Induced Spraying (SISP)?
§
A new solid-state spraying process for deposition of
metals, alloys, cermets and polymers on virtually any type of substrate
§
A process that is performed at lower temperatures than
used in traditional thermal spray processes and with high deposition
efficiencies and rates.
§
A patent-pending technology that can produce thick coatings
onto a diversity of surfaces at reduced temperature,
§
A process that minimizes thermal effects such as
oxidation, tensile residual stresses, and metallurgical transformations.
A process that can be used to enhance surfaces for
corrosion protection, thermal insulation, thermal dissipation, wear
resistance, electrical conductivity, restoration, and other applications
without the detrimental effects of elevated process
temperatures
