What is cold spray technology?

Cold spray, also called supersonic particle deposition, is a solid-state process where fine metal powders are accelerated to supersonic speeds using a heated, high-pressure gas. The particles bond on impact without melting, forming dense, high-strength coatings or restoring components to their original dimensions.

How does cold spray compare to thermal spray?

Unlike thermal spray, cold spray does not melt materials. This means there’s no heat-affected zone, no oxidation, and stronger metallurgical bonds. Cold spray repairs are more durable, environmentally friendly, and preserve the base material integrity.

Which industries benefit from cold spray?

Cold spray is used across aerospace, defense, maritime, automotive, energy, and heavy equipment industries. It enables fast, safe, and cost-effective restoration of high-value components, minimizing downtime and extending equipment life.

What types of equipment does VRC manufacture?
