VRC Metal Systems, Box Elder, S.D., has released a new nozzle for spraying metal powders with its high-pressure cold-spray systems. The new cold-spray nozzle is great for large-scale projects and gets them done in half the time.
This innovative nozzle differs from its other designs because it can deposit a much greater amount of metal powder than our previous designs, making it an excellent choice wherever there is a need to deposit a lot of material. VRC’s high-pressure cold-spray technology makes a lot of repair projects simpler and quicker, including aiding the Air Force in repairing aircraft parts. It even makes it possible to repair parts that are unrepairable by other means.
High-pressure cold spray comes with a host of benefits that make the entire process easier to carry out:
- No limit on deposition thickness
- High deposition rate
- High consolidation (apparent porosities of less than 1% are readily achievable)
- High conductivity
- No chemical solvents
- No melting in the process, meaning no molten metal fumes
- No oxide formation, combustion product entrapment, or alloy decomposition
When it comes to particle deposition efficiency, cold spray is capable of over 90% for well-developed applications. The new nozzle maintains that efficiency, maintaining the low resource usage of VRC’s process.
VRC has developed cold-spray technology systems for a variety of industrial applications, including large-scale marine or other applications. Its newest powder nozzle is best for larger-scale projects and can be customized to fit the needs of any project.
