Abstract

A process for producing a metallic tool, mould, die or other body of significant thickness or a coating, the process comprising directing a spray (3, 4) comprising molten metallic droplets carried by a propelling gas toward an object surface (7) of a substrate or pattern (5) so as to build up a metallic deposit or coating comprising the mould, tool, die, body or coating on the object surface (7) of the substrate or pattern (5), wherein at one or more predetermined stages during spraying droplets of a relatively large mean size are sprayed and at one or more other stages droplets or a relatively smaller mean size are sprayed.
