Cold Metal Spray Technology

The technology of metal deposition on different surfaces by means of DYMET Equipment implies gas-dynamic spraying method.
The method is based on the discovery made in 1980s that particles moving at supersonic speed adhere to the surface after collision.
This new technology has never found an industrial application before.

Most traditional thermal spray coating methods imply high temperature of material particles deposited on the surface, typically this temper-
ature exceeds the material melting point. In gas-dynamic spraying technology this condition is not compulsory, what makes the technology
unique. The technology implies surface interaction with non-melted particles moving at extremely high velocities. So, no extra oxidation
occurs during spraying, heat induced phase changes are avoided and no flame or electric arc is present - only kinetic energy!

Principle of Cold Metal Spray

1. Fine metal particles are accelerated by a gas stream
to a velocity of several hundred meters per second
and are directed to substrate without melting;
2. When they hit a substrate its kinetic energy is
converted to a heat and then to a bonding energy;
3. As a result of high velocity impacts the particles get
attached to the treated surface, forming a dense
coating.
- Special mixtures of metallic and ceramic powders
are used
- Only a heated compressed air at a relatively low
pressure is used
Basic features of coatings
• High adhesion and cohesion (30-100 MPa), interface between coating Spray materials Substrates
and substrate is faultless - Al - Steel
• Low porosity (1-5%) - Zn Stainless steel
• High thermal conductivity - Cu Cast-iron
• High electrical conductivity - Sn - Aluminium
• Purity, no extra oxidation compared to powder - Ni Other metals
• Reliable galvanic contact between coating and substrate - Sn/Cu/Sb - Ceramic
• Coating roughness is Rz = 20 - 40 providing high adhesion of paint - Al/Zn Glass
materials to it - Zn/Al
• Coating can be applied to any metal, ceramic or glass - Cu/Zn
• Perfectly and directly machinable by any known method - Ni/Zn
• Special thermal treatment can add new features to a coating

 Sealing leaks of liquids or gases
Low porosity and gas permeability of coatings deposited by DYMET equipment allow to
use them effectively to sealing leaks in cases when there is no opportunity to use
hermetic compounds. In particular, it is good to use them to repair vessels working under
high pressures or under low or high temperatures, e.g. cryogen components, cooling
system components, barrels, pipelines, heat echangers, etc.

Electrical conductive coating

High electrical conductance of aluminium or copper coatings and their ability to adhere to
any metal or ceramic surface provide their effective application in different electronic or
electric components:
• Making copper paths, stripes or contact areas on aluminium or steel components or parts.
• In particular, deposition of copper on tyres and on earthing surfaces.
• Deposition of electrical conductive coatings on ceramic appliances like assembly plates, porcelain indulators etc.

Copper coating on contact areas

Corrosion protection
Aluminium or zinc coatings protect surfaces from low temperature corrosion. Coatings deposited with DYMET Cold Metal Spray system
meet GOST Russian standards and other regulations, the anti-corrosive features of DYMET coatings exceedthose of paints
or many other metal coatings. Nickel or aluminium coatings protect surfaces from high temperature corrosion:
• Anti-corrosive treatment of local corrosion centres;
• Treatment of welding seams;
• Treatment of small-size components: e.g. insulator hangers

Prime layering for soldering

Technological simplicity of coating deposition on any
metal (e.g. cast-iron or aluminium), glass or ceramic
surface provides the opportunity to deposit copper on
these surfaces in order to make further any soldered units
after tinning them with any solders.
