Electronic devices, including those in telecommunications and high-power systems, generate heat during normal operation. That heat must be dissipated to avoid junction temperatures exceeding tolerable ...

Cold spray coating is a solid‐state deposition process in which fine powders are accelerated to high velocities and directed onto substrates, forming dense, adherent coatings without melting the ...

When people think of additive manufacturing (AM), they usually think of 3D printing. Of course, 3D printing is an extremely innovative technology and is at one of its most exciting stages of evolution ...

An international team of researchers has solved a puzzling phenomenon whereby strangely beautiful, vortex-like structures appear between materials deposited onto engineering components used in ...

The new material, created by spraying a tantalum coating on stainless steel, can withstand extreme conditions inside fusion reactors. This advancement enables more efficient fusion reactors that are ...

Ellsworth Air Force Base now has a quicker and more cost-effective way to repair panels on B-1s. It’s called cold spray technology. “We take fine metallic powder and we ramp it up with really high ...

Rockwell B-1 Lancer bombers are seen in a boneyard at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. AFP PHOTO/BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI For decades, U.S ...

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) are providing valuable insights into the cold spray deposition process, offering information that other ...

The Australian Navy is researching cold spray, a form of additive manufacturing, to repair submarines. The tech blasts surfaces with tiny bits of metal at high speed, binding it to a surface. The ...

Most coatings have a functional purpose as well as a decorative one. Paint protects a car's body against the elements while adding razzle-dazzle to its appearance. Some coatings, though, are mainly ...
