Air that is accelerated to a speed of up to three times the speed of sound is shot through a nozzle. Injected metal powders are thereby deposited on a substrate. The high speed or kinetic energy is used to stick the metal particles together. The process forms high density parts with normal metallurgical properties. (Source: Stahl)
