It is a rare opportunity to participate in the
emergence of a new technology and the development of new and practical applications. After
decades of theoretical physics research, Cold
Spray technology offers exciting
opportunities for companies seeking a
competitive advantage through streamlining of existing
processes, increased value-added content,
scrap reduction, and recycling activities.
CenterLine is leading the way
to providing a number of practical and deployable low-pressure gas-dynamic
spray solutions.
It is important to note that at present "Cold Spray" is
identified using a variety of labels.
Some of the names used in conjunction
with the Cold Spray process include:
- Cold Gas-Coating Technique
- Cold Gas-Dynamic Method (CGDM)
- Cold Gas-Dynamic Spray Technology
- Cold Gas-Dynamic Spray Method (CGSM)
- Cold Spray
- Cold Spray Processing
- Dymet® [Obninsk
Center for Powder Spraying (OCPS)]
- Gas-Dynamic Spray (GDS)
- High Speed
Particle Deposition
- Kinetic Metallization® [Innovative
Technology, Inc.]
- Kinetic Spray Process
- Kinetic Spray Coating
- Kinetic Spray Coating Method
- Supersonically Induced Mechanical Alloy
Technology (SIMAT)
- Vacuum Cold-Spray (VCS)
CenterLine has chosen to employ the term coined by pioneering and leading
experts in the technology to describe its particular application of Cold Spray,
notably, the term Low-Pressure Cold Gas-Dynamic Spray has been
selected since it is unique, unambiguous, and communicates the exact nature of
the process.
Pressure is included in the process designation to distinguish CenterLine’s
proprietary system that uses commonly available compressed air rather than more
complex systems that require the use of high-pressure inert gas. |
