It is called Cold Spray because rather than being based on melting, the process exploits kinetic energy. The workpiece is heated as a result of the impact of the metal powder particles. The heat generated ranges from 100 ºC (low pressure) to 150 ºC (high pressure).
Metal powder particles are ‘shot’ onto the workpiece at very high speeds of up to 600 metres per second, and bond with its surface structure due to the high velocity impact.
On all metals, glass, ceramics and various plastics.

⦁ Electrically conductive applications on plastics
Although the purchase of a machine is an investment, the cost is recovered by extending the service life of machinery and components, and by minimising the use of raw materials (local application of functional coatings).
