Kinetic MetallizationTM - Coating Development System

Inovati developed and introduced the KM-Coating Development System (KM-CDS) as turnkey research tool to allow academia, government, and industrial researchers the opportunity to investigate and develop unique coatings using the Kinetic Metallization process. The KM-CDS has been marketed on a worldwide basis with an optional 6-axis robot that permits spray deposition of coatings and spray forming of small components within a spray enclosure cabinet. This presentation will review the highlights and capabilities of the latest model configured with mass flow controllers to permit computerized process control and gas mixing. A unique powder fluidization technique permits feeding of ultra-fine and agglomerating powders. Coatings and spray formed products produced with the KM-CDS will be presented along with corresponding material properties.
