Titomal (ASX: TTT)headquartered in Melbourne, is a leader in the development of cold spray technology. Cold spraying involves spraying metal or other materials at high speed onto a surface to create a coating or build a strong structure.
In a statement today, the company announced that it has collaborated with global trade 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 sectors 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 production and repair processes.
“SAE AMS7057 compliance validates Titomic’s cold spray technology and strategically positions the company to capitalize on a range of U.S. government opportunities and initiatives,” said Jim Simpson, president of Titomic USA. He highlighted the potential for military asset repairs, lightweight aerospace components for NASA and domestic supply chain support through 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 strict regulatory and quality assurance requirements. Airbus, which announced in October 2023 that Titomic was its preferred supplier for cold spraying, is among the key customers likely to benefit from the streamlined certification process.
Shares of Titomic are trading up 5.56% at 19 cents.
