Abstract

In this paper, the application of cold spray (CS) coating deposition technology as additive manufacturing technique is discussed. Absence of material melting during CS deposition permits to obtain deposits with low value of residual stresses and to preserve the phase composition of source material which is a very important advantage. In this paper, the latest developments in the field of cold spray such as micronozzle device and new multimaterial deposition approach permitting to significantly enlarge the potential of cold spray as additive manufacturing technology is discussed.
