Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your original contributions to this Special Issue “New materials and new applications for the Cold Gas Spray process”. A cold spray is a powder-based coating and additive manufacturing (AM) technology that uses a pressurized and heated gas stream to accelerate powder particles at a high speed. Upon hitting the substrate, due to large plastic deformation of particles, material deposition can be obtained. A cold spray allows one to produce dense and oxide-free deposits, presenting many advantages over other thermal spraying and AM techniques, such as high deposition rates, high adhesion strengths, and moderate thermal effects on the substrate. Cold spray technology is assessed for a large variety of materials, including pure metals, alloys, and composite (metal/ceramic) materials. It can be used to achieve new goals in various industrial sectors, and innovative depositing materials represent the core of this Special Issue. We welcome original research papers and review articles representing the state-of-the-art knowledge on the cold spraying of new materials and new applications, covering both academic and industrial aspects. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

  • The cold spraying of high-entropy alloys;
  • Advances on cold spray additive manufacturing;
  • Improved powders for cold sprays;
  • New functional materials obtained by cold spraying;
  • Hard-phase dispersed alloys;
  • Intermetallic materials.

Cold spray (CS) uses high-velocity gas to deposit solid particles without oxidation or phase change. To make the spraying process more economical, a wider-sized cut of feedstock particles needs to be deposited. The liquid cold spray (LCS) process, which uses water as a propellant, has been developed to achieve this goal. The use of water as a propellant may adversely affect particle deformation and adhesion. In this study, numerical methods are used to analyze particle and substrate oxide failure to determine the effects of wetting on particle adhesion to a substrate. The results indicate that water on the particle surface or on substrate would reduce the deformation of both. The area in which oxide layers fail and metallurgical bonding can occur would be reduced. A portion of the water may become entrapped between the particle and the substrate, adversely affecting the bonding area. Increasing particle velocity and decreasing water thickness can reduce the volume of trapped water and improve density by increasing particle deformation and decreasing pore size. Full article

The design and implementation of two-dimensional materials into a metal matrix have been the focus of considerable research interest for achieving enhanced properties. Nevertheless, conventional and modern manufacturing techniques often struggle to fabricate bulk 2D metal matrix composites (2DMMCs) while preserving the desired distribution and preventing thermomechanical damage to the constituent phases. Cold spray technology is a solid-state manufacturing method known for maintaining the composition of the original feedstock without causing significant detrimental changes during the deposition process. This study investigates the influence of cold spray process parameters on the microstructure, porosity, and microhardness of copper composites reinforced with 1 wt.% graphene platelets. The copper–graphene composite powder was synthesized via high-energy ball milling and subsequently deposited using two distinct sets of cold spray parameters employing medium- and high-pressure systems. Scanning electron microscopy, dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, porosity measurements, microhardness testing, and Raman spectroscopy were used to comprehensively evaluate the deposits. The findings demonstrate the preservation of the 2D phase and show how cold spray parameters influence porosity, hardness, and the incorporation of graphene within the copper matrix. Full article
