Cold spray is compatible with a wide variety of metal powders and metal blends, including:
-
Titanium and Ti-6Al-4V
-
Aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061, 7075)
-
Nickel-based alloys (Inconel 625, 718)
-
Copper, silver, and precious metals
-
Steel and stainless steel
-
Tantalum, tungsten, and other refractory metals
-
Composite blends and certain ceramics
Because the process doesn’t melt the material, it’s especially suited for difficult-to-form or thermally sensitive metals.
