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 ...

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 ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have developed a tantalum-based workhorse material that can withstand the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor. In a paper published in the journal ...

Researchers’ interest in thermal spraying varies from the very practical to the uncommon and theoretical studies. In between this lies the July 2000 issue of Materials Research Bulletin titled ...

Sierra Army Depot’s (SIAD) Metal Fabrication branch completed operator training on January 16, 2025, with their new VRC Dragonfly cold spray unit. This advanced capability enables Sierra to repair ...

ADELPHI, Md. (May 13, 2015) -- The U.S. Army Research Laboratory, or ARL, has developed a novel, hybrid cold-spray system, in collaboration with the South Dakota School of Mines, or SDSM, which is ...

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 ...
