Cold spray (CS) has significant technical advantages in additive manufacturing of aluminum
matrix composites. In this study, Al with different content of Al 2 O 3 composite deposits was …

Metallic coatings are extensively used in various industries to protect substrate structures
and restore worn or corroded parts. Laser ultrasonics is particularly attractive for inspecting …

Cold spray (CS) is a solid-state process for depositing thick layers of material via the
successive high-velocity impact of powder particles onto a solid surface, which leads to high …

Continuous monitoring of spray velocity during the cold spray process would be desirable to
support quality control, as spray velocity is the key process parameter determining the …

In order to improve the coating quality to a higher level, a method of warm-particle peening
assisted thermal spraying was put forward. This work presents a study based on a warm …

The paper deals with effect of working gas pressure and temperature on surface stereometry
of coatings deposited by low-pressure cold spray method. Examinations were focused on …

Highlights•Spray nozzle functionality was systematically analysed by acoustic
monitoring.•Acoustic properties are significantly influenced by spray nozzle …

As discussed originally by Sousa et al. in Ref.[1], metal additive manufacturing (AM) has
become much more common in the material processing world due to the accelerated …

Cold spray (CS) is a solid-state process for depositing metal powder, accelerated by a high-
velocity gas such that it bonds to the substrate metal through kinetic impact energy. Although …

Cold spray, or supersonic particle deposition, is an emerging additive manufacturing
process used to develop material on target substrates. The process continues to evolve …
