Titomic (ASX:TTT)based in Melbourne, is a leader in the development of cold spray technology. Cold spray involves spraying metal or other materials at high speed onto a surface to create a coating or build a solid structure.
In a statement released today, the company announced that it has partnered with global professional association SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers) to create a specification for how Titomic’s cold spray additive manufacturing can be used in industries such as aerospace and defense.
The specification is officially titled SAE AMS 7057 and has undergone rigorous testing and validation, ensuring that components produced using Titomic technology meet high performance and reliability criteria. According to the company, this development will make it easier for aerospace and defense companies to integrate cold spray technology into their manufacturing and repair processes.
“SAE AMS7057 compliance validates Titomic’s cold spray technology and strategically positions the company to take advantage of a variety of U.S. government opportunities and initiatives,” said Jim Simpson, President of Titomic USA. He highlighted the potential for military asset repair, light aerospace components for NASA and domestic supply chain support under U.S. Office of Strategic Capital initiatives.
Standardization is expected to reduce certification times for aerospace components, potentially making Titomic a preferred supplier in industries with stringent regulatory and quality assurance requirements. Airbus, which announced in October 2023 that Titomic was its preferred supplier for cold spray, is among major customers that could benefit from the simplified certification process.
Titomic shares are trading up 5.56% at 19 cents.
