Cold Spraying: Innovative Layers for New Applications

Fatigue behavior of annealed cold-sprayed 316L stainless steel coating for biomedical applications

“…Since there is no melting of particles during the process, the microstructure of the metal is relatively kept intact and no phase transformation occurs [13]. Further details on cold spray can be found elsewhere [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In fact, since one of the factors that affect the fatigue life is the grain size; i.e.…”

Cold spraying of light alloys

“…The CS process was originally developed in the mid-1980s at the institute of Theoretical and applied Mechanics of the (gartner et al, 2006;Karthikeyan, 2006;Kroemmer and Heinrich, 2006;Marx et al, 2006). in Europe, germany is leading the technology development and applications.…”

On the search for producing intermetallics by diffusion reaction of cold spray bulk deposits

“…In general, they possess high strength and low ductility -characteristics that are connected to their crystal lattice type. Aluminides are one important intermetallic group also from the mechanical point of view and are considered to have high potential as materials for high temperature application with good strength/density ratio [1,2].…”
