罗文大学，，，，New Jerseyhas received $14.5 million from the U.S.Army Research Laboratory(ARL) to develop cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM). In a project titled “Advancing Structural Materials for Army Modernization Priorities via Direct-Write Approaches” Rowan researchers will apply technological improvements to enhance the safety of soldiers.
项目团队罗恩大学（Rowan University）与全球油漆，涂料和专业材料的供应商ppg，，，，Drexel University，，，，东北大学，，，，andthe University of Massachusetts Amherst创建新材料和处理方法。
冷喷涂添加剂制造雷电竞充值(CSAM)
冷喷涂添加剂制造雷电竞充值涉及具有高速度超音速气射流的金属颗粒的加速度，在接收表面或底物上撞击时将粉末状材料粘合。比声音速度快，冷喷雾的粒子速度可以快速治愈和聚合物的粘附。这导致高性能复合零件的快速生产或零件修复。
“Additionally, this novel manufacturing methodology is a layer-by layer production of composites, which should reduce void and flaw content,” explained John La Scala, associate chief the ARL’s Materials and Manufacturing Sciences Division. “This should improve strength and durability significantly, thereby opening the potential of using this manufacturing technique to prepare composites for extreme conditions, while replacing the current expensive manufacturing methods with a much more economical methodology,”
Primary applications of the technology include creating coatings or repairing equipment. The technology has been used by engineers to repair发动机变速箱andmake electric motors。现在以商业化的冷喷水机的形式提供Spee3D的Lightspee3d 3D打印机。Other commercial providers of cold spray-based AM include影响创新，，，，Hermle，，，，andTitomic。
罗恩的新CSAM研究实验室
在罗文的冷喷涂添加剂制造研究实验室雷电竞充值South Jersey Technology Park（SJTP），化学工程副教授Joe Stanzione博士将与机械工程助理教授Francis（Mac）Haas博士团队合作。哈斯博士说：“我们正在罗恩（Rowan）创建一个材料科学生态系统。”该实验室还将汇集博士后研究人员，博士生，硕士学生和二十名本科生。
The team’s work will focus on the manufacture and repair of polymer composites. “The high particle velocity of cold spray enables rapid cure and adhesion of polymers. This should result in fast and efficient production of high performance composite parts or repair of parts,” added La Scala. Starting with the ubiquitous polystyrene, the team will later move on to more advanced composite materials and systems as designated by the Army.
通过研究计划开发的材料可用于使军事设备更强壮，更轻，士兵更敏捷，车辆更耐用。双重用途的衍生产品也有很大的潜力进入商业化部门，例如民航，汽车，医疗保健和太空探索。
Stanzione博士说：“我们将努力使材料更快，使其更易于修复异地，重要的是在现场现场。”“这包括从坦克和吉普车的零件到可用工具和头盔的所有内容。”
