HUNTSVILLE, AL, Dec 4, 2025 – Titomic completed a hot fire test on a solid-rocket motor thrust chamber built with its Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) technology. The test validates that cold spray additive manufacturing can build components for mission-critical aerospace and defense systems.
The thrust chamber, manufactured using Titomic’s cold spray process, completed hot fire testing under demanding conditions. The test confirmed the chamber’s strength and thermal performance, meeting requirements for aerospace and defense propulsion systems. The results demonstrate that cold spray manufacturing can produce metal components without high heat or melting.
The test supports TKF as a viable manufacturing technology for aerospace and defense sectors. The process enables large metal parts with shorter lead times and reduced waste, helping meet demand for propulsion and structural components and support flexible supply chains.
The hot fire test validates Titomic’s work for its aerospace and defense customer and supports possible use of cold spray technology in future programs. The result also demonstrates Titomic’s capacity for local manufacturing aligned with Department of Defense.
Jim Simpson, CEO of Titomic said: “This successful test validates the strength and performance of Titomic’s technology in one of the most challenging environments imaginable, it represents not only a technical achievement but further affirms cold spray as a critical additive manufacturing capability for advanced aerospace and defense solutions. Titomic delivered the components to its customer within weeks of receiving the order, demonstrating our ability to rapidly deliver – from prototype to production – critical missile components which today has significant lead times.”
Dr. Patti Dare, Titomic USA president added: “We are truly excited about the continued interest in our demonstrated TKF solutions.”
