Kinetic Metallization (KM) coatings can be applied on a variety of materials through solid-state impact consolidation of powder particles using friction-compensated sonic nozzles. The KM Coating Development System permits users with a wide range of backgrounds and experience to explore custom coating applications. 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. 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.
