Who is Titomic ?

Titomic is an Australian company specialising in the development of cold spray equipment for additive manufacturing and metal coatings.

What is Cold Spray ?

Cold Spray is a cold material deposition technology that uses metal particles sprayed at high speed to create solid layers without the need for melting. Unlike traditional additive manufacturing methods that involve melting and solidification, Cold Spray produces dense, adherent metal deposits using only the force of impact.

How does it work ?

The process begins with the selection of special metal powders tailored to your application. These powders are then accelerated through a jet of high-pressure gas, such as helium or nitrogen. When the particles reach the substrate, their high kinetic energy causes plastic deformation, binding them firmly to each other and to the substrate, forming a dense, adherent deposit.

What are the applications?

  • Additive manufacturing :

Titanium : Rapid production of titanium parts
Automotive : For the manufacture and repair of complex parts, and to improve the wear resistance of components.
Armament : Rapid production of parts using a combination of materials.

  • Coating :

Rapid repair and relining : Ideal for repairing damaged metal parts, Cold Spray restores parts to their original condition without compromising their structural integrity.

Aerospace, rail and mould industry : For repairing critical components and applying protective coatings against corrosion and wear.

Energy : For the rehabilitation of turbines and the protection of surfaces against erosion and corrosion.

Defence : to reinforce structures and apply armouring coatings.

What are the benefits?

No melting : By eliminating the need for melting, Cold Spray avoids the problems of thermal deformation, oxidation and residual stress, ensuring superior quality of the final product.

Superior Mechanical Properties : The deposits obtained retain the mechanical properties of the base material, with high density and excellent adhesion.

Multi-Material Flexibility : This technology enables different metallic and non-metallic materials to be combined, offering unrivalled flexibility in design and production.Speed: Deposition rates between 1 and 15kg/h
