Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing Cold spray is a solid-state spray process that deposits metal powder with temperatures below the material melting point through the use of a supersonic nozzle and pressurized/heated inert gas. Concurrent Technologies Corporation uses high pressure cold spray for the application of metals, metal alloys and metal blends to create new parts, repair existing parts, and/or enhance base material properties (e.g., improved corrosion or wear protection).

Benefits of Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing

• Low heat input with no “heat-affected zone”
• Work-hardened and near-wrought properties can be achieved
• No limit on deposition thickness
• High deposit efficiency typically > 80%
• Deposition density > 99%
• Powder microstructure and properties are preserved
• No oxide formation, alloy decomposition, combustion product entrapment
• A diversity of materials that can be applied from aluminum to refractory metals

Specialized Equipment

Concurrent Technologies Corporation utilizes a VRC Metal Systems Gen III Max system, which uses three 15kW heaters mounted within a single mobile unit. The Gen III Max only takes up a small three-foot by five-foot area and is on wheels, enabling easy mobility for production, repair or in-the-field applications. It can be manually or robotically operated, providing a versatile feature that makes it the system of choice for many repair and obsolescence applications.

Parts Repairs

Cold spray is being used industry-wide to repair expensive and/or hard-to-acquire components on military aircraft, vehicles, and even submarines, which would otherwise be scrapped. Cold spray provides a cost effective means to reset the part and address long lead times or part obsolescence. The high pressure cold spray process utilizes metal-based powders, which are accelerated at supersonic velocities onto the surface of a part that has been worn or damaged. Upon impact, the powder is consolidated into a dense solid material only requiring finish machining to restore the part back to its original dimensions. The resulting deposition can range from ~0.01 inch up to any desirable thickness.

Why Concurrent Technologies Corporation?

Concurrent Technologies Corporation is an all-encompassing service provider for Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) solutions. We offer complete process execution including reverse engineering, development of process parameters, powder and substrate characterization, surface profile preparation, material application, finish machining and inspection. We also provide services to evaluate, validate, and qualify the repair through mechanical and physical property characterization. All processes are controlled in-house to ensure quality results. Concurrent Technologies Corporation leverages the company’s 30 years of metals and metal processing expertise for cold spray and all of our Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing solutions. Concurrent Technologies Corporation’s quality management system is certified to the ISO 9001:2008 (Quality) and 14001:2004 (Environmental) standards. Its technology transition affiliate, Enterprise Ventures Corporation (EVC), is certified to the AS9100 standard for aerospace activities.
