During the thermoforming of TC18 titanium alloy multi-cavity components, different
deformation modes always exist and change, such as uniaxial compression (UC), shear …

Constitutive models can fail to predict high-rate deformation behavior due to their inability to
account for microstructural effects. In part, this is because of a dearth of experimental …

As deformation rate increases, the thermally activated dislocation glide gives way to a
continuous glide of dislocations governed by their interactions with phonons. Understanding …

Over the past decade, cold spraying (CS) has become a significant additive manufacturing
technology for creating metallic structures and repairing damaged components. This study …

Particle bonding is crucial to coating quality in cold spray, but it has been a challenge to
accurately quantify bonding even in single particle impacts. This paper uses FIB-SEM to …

Cold spray is an effective method for surface coating, which has been applied in various
engineering areas. However, it is difficult to directly observe the dynamic deformation …

We propose a method using high-velocity ballistic impacts of deformable microparticles on a
rigid target to assess particle strength at strain rates exceeding 10 6/s. High-speed imaging …

Cold spray coatings are the sum of countless individual bonding events between single
particles impacting on top of one another at high velocities. Thus, the collective behavior of …
