Abstract:Abstract. Cold spray is a novel production technology for creating metallic layers on various materials. Using a pressurized gas travelling at supersonic speeds, the metallic particles are accelerated and impact the target surface obtaining adhesion through mechanical interlocking between the powders and the substrate. This method is especially well suited for coating thermosensitive materials like composites since it only requires a little amount of heat, as the powders remain in a solid state. The quality an… Show more
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.
