Sierra Army Depot Enhances Capabilities with New Cold Spray Technology
May 2, 2025 - 04:07
Sierra Army Depot’s Metal Fabrication branch has successfully completed operator training for its new VRC Dragonfly cold spray unit as of January 16, 2025. This advanced technology represents a significant enhancement in the depot's manufacturing capabilities, enabling more efficient and precise metal repairs and coatings.
Cold spray technology utilizes high-velocity gas to propel metal powders onto surfaces, creating a strong bond without the need for melting the material. This method not only improves the longevity and performance of military equipment but also reduces downtime associated with traditional repair methods. The introduction of the VRC Dragonfly unit is expected to streamline operations and expand the range of services offered by the depot.
With this new capability, Sierra Army Depot aims to bolster its support for various military branches, ensuring that equipment remains operational and ready for deployment. The successful training marks a pivotal step in modernizing the depot’s operations and enhancing its role in national defense.
