Modern Cold Spray

Abstract

It is a fact that, during the operation of engineered products, the materials of which these products are made of will degrade over time. As a result, engineers and scientists constantly develop new materials and/or techniques to repair and maintain these products to ultimately prolong their service life at minimum cost and with minimum environmental impact. This chapter introduces the reader to an overview of the cold spray technology, an enabler of a broad range of applications, many of which have never been previously possible or commercially practical. To achieve the chapter’s objectives, the beginnings of thermal spray and cold spray technologies are reviewed. Then, the advantages and limitations of cold spray are presented along with a number of applications and a general comparison against conventional thermal spray. Finally, a discussion on the complexity of surface engineering leads to view cold spray technology not in isolation but as a component of a broad range of surface engineering techniques available to solve engineering problems.
