“…Since the current trend in engineering industry, such as the automotive sector, is to rely on light construction materials (e.g., aluminium and its alloys) in order to reduce the overall weight of constructions and manufactured parts, hence SS surface coatings on metals are considered to be a promising solution for achieving this target while providing anticorrosion and wear resistance to the bulk material [ 9 , 10 ]. So far, all reported deposition procedures of SS films are seen as adaptation of cold gas dynamic spraying of premixed powders onto the surface [ 9 , 11 ], wire feedstock melt down on surfaces via electron beam solid freeforming (EB-SFF) [ 12 , 13 ], ionic sputtering of a target source [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], thermal evaporation of a source and ionic bombardment of the particles by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) approach [ 22 ], and pulsed laser evaporation technique [ 23 , 24 ]. However, some of these routes can be incompatible for industrial usage because of the lack in precision of controlling the deposited layer thickness, the thin film can be associated with contamination, and the cold spray deposited particles and/or its coated surface can suffer from intensive plastic deformation.…”
