Melbourne, Australia – Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT) (“Company” or “Titomic”), the world’s leading provider of cold spray solutions, is pleased to announce the successful development and acceptance of SAE International’s Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing Specification, AMS 7057 (Specification), a new cold spray standard for aerospace.
This milestone project, which began in February 2023 with Titomic’s sponsorship and technical expertise, represents a transformative moment in the commercialisation of cold spray technology and its standardisation as a globally recognised manufacturing and repair process.
The Specification was co-developed with SAE International – a global standards development association – and based on Titomic Kinetic Fusion®, Titomic’s proprietary cold spray technology, including rigorous testing of materials produced. The resulting Specification reflects the exceptional quality, performance, and reliability of components manufactured using Titomic’s technology, ensuring industries have a trusted framework for adopting cold spray for manufacture.
With the Specification now in effect, highly regulated industries such as aerospace, defence, and others are more likely to adopt Titomic Kinetic Fusion®. Certification processes, which are critical in these sectors, will be significantly streamlined as the standard provides an established benchmark. This positions Titomic as a preferred provider for industries requiring adherence to stringent regulatory and quality assurance requirements. Airbus announced in October 2023 that Titomic was its chosen supplier for cold spray. Today, Titomic is working with multiple aircraft manufacturers to implement cold spray technology in their operations and are making positive advancements with additional energy aerospace, and defence clients.
Further, the Specification, forming a proven aerospace material process, provides a strong foundation for U.S. Government support, including consideration by the Office of Strategic Capital. Now a more broadly recognised and validated technology, it enhances the attractiveness of Titomic Kinetic Fusion® for investment and government backing, while also greatly strengthening its position for commercial engagements within the aerospace and defence industries.
"SAE AMS7057 compliance validates Titomic’s cold spray technology and strategically positions the Company to capitalise on a range of U.S. Government opportunities and initiatives aimed at fostering domestic innovation and manufacturing, such as Department of Defense contracts for military asset repairs, NASA programs for lightweight aerospace components, and Office of Strategic Capital efforts to strengthen domestic supply chains through advanced manufacturing technologies."
