A wide variety of coating methods and materials are available for different coating
applications with a common purpose of protecting a part or structure exposed to mechanical …

Deposition of coatings on the surface of a bulk material is a versatile, economical, and
effective strategy to provide additional features to the bulk material, mainly to improve its …

MAX phases are a large family of materials with more than 150 different compositions that
have been extensively investigated during the last 25 years. They present a layered …

Cold spraying is a solid-state powder deposition process with several unique characteristics,
allowing production of coatings or bulk components from a wide range of materials. The …

Compared to conventional high temperature processes, eg arc additive manufacturing,
thermal spraying and laser/electron-beam cladding/additive manufacturing, coatings of Ti …

In the cold spray (CS) process, deposits are produced by depositing powder particles at high
velocity onto a substrate. Powders deposited by CS do not undergo melting before or upon …

Ceramic materials typically have to be sintered at high temperatures, often above 1000 C.
This precludes the coating of lower-melting substrate materials, such as metals, glasses and …

Cold spray technology provides protective coatings, additive manufacturing and repair to a
wide array of industrial sectors. Alternative tags for cold spray include, kinetic metallisation …

Today, cold gas dynamic spray (CGDS) technology has thrived with considerable
capabilities for manufacturing various technological depositions. The deposition conditions …

We study supersonic impact of individual metallic microparticles on metallic substrates, that
is, the unit process of materials buildup in cold spray coatings/additive manufacturing. We …
