A low-temperature powder metal deposition technique capable of producing fully dense, adherent coatings of a variety of metals on standard metal surfaces and ceramic substrates without costly surface preparation has reportedly been developed by Inovati, Santa Barbara, Calif. In addition, braze powders can be sprayed onto parts to be joined.

Because the powders are deposited at temperatures well below their melting points, the coatings exhibit very fine grain size. Another result of the low-temperature application is that heat distortion is ...
