Cold Spray Process Development

[Stephen Booth]

Do you think you might have a special application for cold spray?

Let VRC Metal Systems USA develop your high pressure cold spray application for you. VRC Metal Systems USA has the most experienced cold spray engineers and operators in the country, as well as many research and development partners to make sure your application will be a success in production.

https://vrcmetalsystems.com/ USA based global leader in High Pressure Cold Spray, and engineer, design, develop, build complete integrated systems in house. That includes the main cold spray system, with gun weight at about 2 kg only, robotics, turntables, spray booth, dust collector.....and application development

Developing a good cold spray repair is a not a trivial task.


After we’ve had a chance to review your application and to discuss with you your long term needs, we will help you find the right path forward for your organization. From basic development to a licensed process, or even an ongoing service, we’ll help you find an appropriate solution.

1. Basic properties development, no specific application, no intellectual property
2. Advanced processing development with invention or IP creation
3. Full application development, no IP
4. Full application development with IP
5. In-house service of customer parts, fee basis

How do we develop applications...

We evaluate a broad range of factors including load, friction, erosion, wear and corrosion. First we examine basic feasibility, including likely materials and access issues (i.e. is the location sprayable?). Design data is also needed at this point to establish the properties needed for the cold spray deposition. If design data is not available, the part must be reverse engineered. Next, we select an appropriate material. If no data exists for an appropriate material, then some initial feasibility is needed to see if reasonable properties are achievable. Finally, mock-ups or a first article are prepared and evaluated. If all tests pass, a cold spray process specification is written for the application.
