Description
Summary:The feature article this month describes the High Velocity Particle Consolidation (HVPC) process. This process was previously referred to as Cold Gas Dynamic Spraying (CGDS) in its application as developed under Office of Naval Research ManTech sponsorship within iMAST. Originating in Russia, this inexpensive high-rate coating technology is very versatile. It is capable of coating virtually any homogeneous substrate with some other material at relatively low temperatures. For example, we have coated copper on plastic and titanium on aluminum at temperatures below 200-deg C. We have achieved major successes, detailed in the article, in a variety of applications where its use has provided enhanced performance components at very low cost.
