MIL-DTL-32495, DETAIL SPECIFICATION: ALUMINUM-BASED POWDERS FOR COLD SPRAY DEPOSITION (12-MAY-2014)

MIL-DTL-32495, DETAIL SPECIFICATION: ALUMINUM-BASED POWDERS FOR COLD SPRAY DEPOSITION (12-MAY-2014)., This specification covers requirements intended for use in the procurement of aluminum and aluminum-based alloy powders that will be used to produce deposits utilizing a cold spray materials deposition process for the purpose of parts repair, coatings, or fabrication of freestanding structures. Cold spray is a process whereby metal powder particles are utilized to form a deposit by means of ballistic impingement upon a substrate in order to produce coatings or free-standing structures. This cold spray process is explained in the manufacturing process standard MIL-STD-3021, \"Materials Deposition, Cold Spray\".
