Abstract:This work investigates the cold spray deposition of thermoplastic powders on fiber-reinforced polymer−matrix composites using a combined experimental-computational approach. Cold spray deposition of nylon-6 powders on woven glass fiber-reinforced composite panels is successfully achieved by the proper identification of two critical process parameters, particle temperature and impact velocity. Experimental evaluations indicate that the bonding between the deposited nylon layers and the composite substrate is ac… 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.
