One of the main specific features of the cold spray process is localisation during particle impact deformation. The resultant adiabatic shear instability is the phenomenon that is known to play a major role in the particle/substrate and particle/particle bonding and coating structure formation during the cold spray process. In this article, the cold spray process is numerically simulated as an impact between a single spherical particle with the substrate, and comparison with experimental results for Armco iron and stainless steel particles is made. To describe a deformation behavior of the two materials at high strain rates, the Johnson-Cook model has been chosen. The results indicate that the model accurately captures the grain distortion in the impact zone for both materials. This approach provides valuable information on the characterisation of the strain localisation at the particle/substrate interface.
This article has been retracted after further review by the JTST Editorial Board as the deposition of a sublayer was ignored; yet this layer was the primary focus of the paper. Also, the essential data concerning deposition of the sublayer were omitted as the sublayer was deposited using helium as the propellant gas, while the thick copper coating was deposited using nitrogen as the propellant gas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
