Cold spray is a solid-state coating deposition technology which has recently been applied
as an additive manufacturing process to fabricate individual components and to repair …

Over the decades, the application of mechanical force to influence chemical reactions has
been called by various names: mechanochemistry, tribochemistry, mechanical alloying, to …

When metallic microparticles impact substrates at high enough velocity, they bond
cohesively. It has been widely argued that this critical adhesion velocity is associated with …

Cold spray is an effective solid-state process for the fabrication of metal matrix composites
where metallic, ceramic, or intermetallic reinforcements are embedded in a metallic matrix …

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 …

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 …

In this paper, the microstructure and mechanical anisotropy of additively manufactured cold
spray copper are investigated. Two nozzle scanning strategies (bidirectional and cross …

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 …

Bonding during cold spray has been phenomenologically associated with the breakup of the
native surface oxide layer to produce intimate metallic contacts. Here, we resolve the instant …

Despite advances in mechanical testing at small scales and testing at high strain rates,
studies of mechanical behavior of materials remain largely qualitative in the regimes where …
