Kinetic Metallization (KM) uses friction-compensated sonic nozzles to accelerate fine powder particles to speeds sufficient to create coatings on a variety of materials through solid-state impact consolidation. The efficiency of the KM sonic nozzle allows operation at low gas pressures and temperatures, and provides optimum particle velocities for highly dense coatings. A wide variety of coatings of metals and metal matrix composites are possible. Inovati has developed new technology enabling features for the KM Coating Development System that permits users with a wide range of backgrounds and experience to explore custom coating applications. Technical specifications for the latest model of the KM Coating Development System (the KM-CDS 2.1) are presented, and potential applications discussed. A key feature of the KM-CDS 2.1 system is a new powder-fluidizing unit that permits feeding of nano-sized and ultra-fine powders which are highly agglomerating. Properties of some of the recent coatings produced with the KM process will be summarized.
