High-velocity microparticle impacts are relevant to many fields, from space exploration to
additive manufacturing, and can be used to help understand the physical and chemical …

Thermosets—polymeric materials that adopt a permanent shape upon curing—have a key
role in the modern plastics and rubber industries, comprising about 20 per cent of polymeric …

Cold spray (CS) processing is a layer-by-layer solid-state deposition process in which
particles at a temperature below their melting point are launched to sufficiently high …

Grain refinement is a widely sought-after feature of many metal production processes and
frequently involves a process of recrystallization. Some processing methods use very high …

Architected materials with nanoscale features have enabled extreme combinations of
properties by exploiting the ultralightweight structural design space together with size …

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 …

Ultralight architected materials enabled by advanced manufacturing processes have
achieved density-normalized strength and stiffness properties that are inaccessible to bulk …

Impact-induced erosion is the ablation of matter caused by being physically struck by
another object. While this phenomenon is known, it is empirically challenging to study …

The flattening ratio, ε, is an important diagnostic measurement of particle deformability and
coating quality assessment in cold spray. However, the experimental determination of ε and …

The cold spray (CS) process is unique due to its high strain rate deformation and particle
deposition in solid state. In situ investigation of this process is challenging. Therefore …
