Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cold spraying is a novel solid-state powder deposition and surface coating technology, which was found in the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Science in the mid-1980s. The deposition mechanism of cold spray materials is based on the fact that micron-sized solid powder particles impact the substrate at high velocity to induce severe plastic deformation of particles. After more than 30 years of development, sprayable materials have evolved from pure metals to a variety of materials such as alloys, metal matrix composites, amorphous, high-entropy alloys, nanocrystalline metals. and ceramics. As a “low temperature” processing technology, the coatings obtained by cold spray technology hardly oxidize, and the microstructure of the coating is basically the same as that of the original powder. Therefore, cold spray coating can have mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity equivalent to the corresponding bulk materials. Therefore, cold spray has been widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, nuclear energy, and other key areas. In recent years, with the advent of a new round of global scientific and technological and industrial revolution, additive manufacturing which enables directly fabricating net-shape or near-net-shape components has been attracting attention from all over the world. Because of the high deposition rate, and continuous accumulation in the thickness direction, cold spray has great application potential in repairing damaged parts and fabricating standing-free metallic components.
This Special Issue will aim to collect important contributions related, though not limited, to the topics announced. High-quality, novel researches are very welcome, as well as reviews on the aforementioned topics. Recent new powder formulation and characterization, advanced coating characterizations, equipment, properties and applications, and novel pre- and post-treatment, deposits failure analyses, robot strategies, and damage restoration are very welcome in this Special Issue.
In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to:
- Equipment/powders;
- Characterizations, microstructures and mechanical properties;
- Pre- and post-treatment;
- Robot trajectories and damage restoration;
- Applications.
