Cold spray is changing the way we think about manufacturing and repair. To the naked eye, it seems like such a simple process, yet it's complexity lies beyond what the eye can see. It's an incredibly effective process whereby metal particles are fired at supersonic speeds onto a surface. Instead of melting, they bond instantly upon impact—creating a solid, dense layers of material for manufacturing or repair. No heat. No distortion. 💡 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲. 𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻: - 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 worn or corroded parts to their original condition, saving time and money compared to traditional replacement. - 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 complex, multi-metal parts without melting—ideal for industries like aerospace, defence, and oil & gas. - 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 entirely new components or repair critical parts in harsh environments like offshore rigs or even in the middle of a battlefield. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 - Cold spray repairs corrosion and wear by restoring damaged surfaces, extending the life of parts, and reducing downtime and costly replacements. - It avoids heat-related issues like distortion or weakening, ensuring parts remain strong and reliable for safety-critical applications. - The technology allows for the use of multiple metals, enabling tailored solutions for specific applications and innovative design possibilities. - It supports sustainable practices by reducing waste, encouraging repair over replacement, and promoting circular manufacturing. - Cold spray systems can be deployed directly on-site, even in remote locations, minimising logistical challenges and enabling faster repairs. 🎥 Watch the video to see this innovative process in action.

What does it mean to be an effective Manufacturing Engineer? For Cuinn Herrick, Titomic’s Manufacturing Engineering Manager, it’s about finding the balance between technical expertise and creativity. “Combining technical expertise with creativity to solve complex problems” is at the core of his approach. It’s about solving problems and aligning innovative processes with practical outcomes that make a tangible impact. Creativity in manufacturing isn’t always about designing something new - it’s about looking at challenges from a fresh perspective, questioning traditional approaches, and finding better, smarter ways to get the job done. For Cuinn, working with cold spray is the perfect example of this mindset in action. He describes the technology as “like having a small foundry that can build large near-net parts or coat dissimilar materials,” giving engineers new tools to solve old problems. “Overcoming challenges is incredibly rewarding,” Cuinn shares, particularly when it’s clear that this technology is contributing to a more efficient, sustainable future in manufacturing.

How will advanced manufacturing redefine supply chains? Supply chains as we know them are under a lot of pressure. It’s natural that global disruption, material shortages, and spiraling costs have got industries rethinking the old way of doing things. Enter advanced manufacturing. 🌟 We believe that advanced manufacturing - and technologies in particular, such as cold spray additive manufacturing - are key to resilient and efficient supply chains. Here is why: 🔧Localised Production: Advanced manufacturing enables on-demand production within an even more localised environment and, at the same time, reduces levels of reliance on complex global logistics systems. 🌍Sustainability: Technologies like CSAM minimise waste in material and energy use, meeting sustainability objectives while reducing costs. 🧶Speed and Customisation: Make custom parts quickly without lead times of traditional manufacturing. Companies that adopt advanced manufacturing are seeing transformational results, including faster delivery times, lower costs, and higher performing products. At its core, it is not just about innovation - it is a competitive advantage. See how Titomic's solutions can reshape your supply chain - https://buff.ly/4fO4HXx

What is cold spray additive manufacturing, anyway? It's the beginning of a new era in the production and repair of metals. With industry requirements for increased speed, lower costs, and sustainability, CSAM meets the challenge with results that are impossible with traditional methods. 🌍✨ Unlike the more conventional additive manufacturing, which relies on melting metals, CSAM makes use of supersonic particle acceleration. Finer metal particles are accelerated at extreme speed and bond to the surface and to one another upon impact. Because this is a solid-state process, melting is not required, which maintains the intrinsic properties of the materials and helps avoid such problems as thermal distortion. The result is stronger, longer-lasting components manufactured to unparalleled preciseness. 🎯 Improved Material Properties: Because the process maintains the metals in their natural state, components manufactured this way are comparable or even superior to alternatives from casting or wrought manufacturing. Unmatched Efficiency: Near-net-shape manufacturing reduces waste, reduces the production time, and decreases the cost. Versatile Applications: From aerospace and defence to automotive and energy, CSAM aids in creating lightweight, high-strength parts, protective coatings, and rapid on-site repairs. One of the key applications is corrosion-resistant coatings. Cold spray technology gives industries the ability to prolong the life of their key assets and reduce the environmental and financial burden of constant replacement. #RepairDontReplace #MRO #ThermalSpray

Sustainability is no longer a buzzword; it is a necessity that ensures the future of manufacturing. With industries globally working towards reducing their ecological footprint, innovative technologies are at the forefront, such as cold spray additive manufacturing. Below are ways in which cold spray contributes directly to sustainable manufacturing: Minimal Waste: Conventional subtractive manufacturing processes waste up to 70% of raw materials. On the other hand, cold spray deposits only what is required, hence being an efficient way of using materials in a near-net-shape process. Energy Efficiency: Some conventional methods require the melting of metals, which is an energy-consuming process. Cold spray works at much lower temperatures, therefore conserving energy without sacrificing the high performance achieved. Additionally, it can also be run 100% on renewable electricity, like it is at our Melbourne Facility - ran on a 99kWh solar energy system. Repair and Reuse: There is no better technology for repairing and reinforcing already existing components than cold spray technology without heat, thereby prolonging life span and delaying the need for replacement. At Titomic, we're proud to be leading the way in manufacturing solutions, constantly evolving towards greener and more sustainable, as well as responsible means of production. 🌱 From aerospace to automotive, defence to energy, our cold spray is helping many industries achieve their sustainability objectives without sacrificing quality or efficiency. Find out more on how we are driving the way forward for sustainability in manufacturing.

How Woodside Energy Combatted Offshore Corrosion with Titomic Corrosion continues to be one of the most persistent challenges for any offshore energy operation. With equipment constantly exposed to the harsh marine environment, the threat of critical infrastructure deterioration continuously hangs over operations, threatening to drive up maintenance costs via unplanned downtime and compromised safety. 🌊⚙️ For Woodside Energy, this challenge was magnified by the specific demands of their particular offshore gas operation. That’s where Titomic’s D523 cold spray technology entered the frame. Our sophisticated cold spray system allowed Woodside Energy to apply protective coatings with impressive levels of precision and longevity. Using high-performance metal powders, the D523 system created a robust barrier against corrosion without resorting to excessive heat or melting. The results were truly transformative: ❤️Increased Longevity: Protective coatings prolonged the life of key components in service, which reduced the frequency of replacement. 💰Cost Savings: Stopping corrosion problems at the outset helped Woodside Energy avoid costly repairs and associated operational downtime. ♻️Environmental Benefits: Cold spray technology is intrinsically sustainable and in keeping with Woodside's commitment to minimising its environmental footprint.
