Kinetic Metallization™ Systems and Equipment

Inovati has developed several models of the Kinetic Metallization equipment focused to meet the needs of various customer bases. The original KM-Coating Development System (KM-CDS™) was introduced primarily as a turn-key research tool to allow academia, government, and industrial researchers the opportunity to investigate and develop unique coatings using the Kinetic Metallization process. Inovati has developed a KM-Production Coating System (KM-PCS™) that supports a variety of coating production requirements. The KM-PCS™ equipped with dual Powder Fluidizing Units and dual KM deposition guns allows for continuous deposition of a single coating type, simultaneous dual layer coatings, or functionally graded coatings with variable powder mixing capabilities. Operation with a variety of gases and gas mixtures under process control is another feature of this new system. Additionally, Inovati manufactures a KM-Mobile Coating System (KM-MCS™) with a hand held KM gun assembly that allows repairs with a wide range of powder formulations suitable for Kinetic Metallization. Benefits and features of these systems along with potential applications will be presented.
