  • Current Trends in Cold Spray Technology: Looking at the Future
    Cold spray is one of the many names for describing a solid-state coating process that uses a high-speed gas jet to accelerate powder particles toward a substrate whereby metal particles plastically deform and consolidate upon impact. The term “cold spray” refers to the relatively low process temperature involved—which is typically much lower than the melting point of the spray material.
  • Non-destructive Testing for Protective Coatings: Implementing a Lifetime Corrosion Prevention Program
    During the 20th century cheap and abundant energy made corrosion a manageable problem. This era is coming to an end. Soon, industry will find there is less funding available for corrosion prevention after adjusting for rising energy costs. At this time, management will be forced to decide whether to continue with traditional corrosion control practices or change to something new with a greater potential for energy savings. For many, this will be an extremely difficult decision to make.
  • Evaluating Over-aged Powder Coatings
    Powder coatings need to be stored under controlled environmental conditions to avoid deterioration or “thermal aging.” In particular, temperatures exceeding typical manufacturer-recommended storage conditions of 25°C (77°F) must be avoided, as significantly exceeding these temperatures for just a few days can lead to permanent damage of the product.
