Polymer metallization via cold spray additive manufacturing is an emerging thermal spray
approach for deposition of thick metallic coatings on polymers and fiber-reinforced …

Thermal spraying of polymer coatings has been applied for many decades. Initially, the
focus was primarily on corrosion and wear protection. Manufacturing was performed with …

Cold spray deposition is a process in which bonding between solid microscale particles and
a substrate occurs due to high energy impact. In this process, adhesion forms between the …

Most reports simulating in-flight particle temperatures in polymer cold spray ignore intra-
particle thermal gradients that develop in-flight, and, to date, no research group has …

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a competitive and promising material that is
employed in various industries, including the aerospace industry. Metallized CFRPs and …

High particle temperature and low particle velocity are required to successfully deposit
polymer particles by cold spray process. To increase the particle temperature, a solution is to …

Water leakage due to corrosion damage is a significant issue in thermal and nuclear power
plants. This study proposes to use a low-pressure cold spray (LPCS) method to repair …

In this paper, we investigate the use of the cold spray additive manufacturing technique to
deposit micron-sized composite particles of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) compounded …

Polymer cold spray has been shown to produce coatings with low porosity and properties
comparable to the bulk material. However, deposition efficiencies are generally low …

Understanding the particle history during the cold spray process is primordial to better
apprehend the particle's mechanical behavior during the impact. If the particle velocity can …
