Definition

Cold Spray Powders are fine metal and alloy powders used in the cold spraying process—an advanced coating technique where particles are accelerated to supersonic velocities via a compressed gas and deposited onto a substrate without significant heating. Unlike traditional thermal spraying, cold spraying operates at lower temperatures, preserving the intrinsic properties of the feedstock and minimizing oxidation, phase transformations, and thermal stresses on substrates.

Common powder materials include:

• Aluminum Alloys – lightweight, corrosion-resistant.

• Copper Alloys – excellent conductivity.

• Steel Alloys – high strength and wear resistance.

• Others – including titanium, nickel-based alloys, and composite blends.
