This book provides a detailed explanation of the cold spray process
from a practical standpoint. Drawing on the authors' 36 years of
research and development experience, it is firmly rooted in theory
but also substantiated by empirical data and practical knowledge,
offering potential users the information they need to recognize the
advantages, as well as the limitations, of cold spray. This sets it
apart from previous works on the subject, which have been purely
academic. Cold spray technology has made great dramatic strides
over the last 10 years and is now being used extensively in the
aerospace, electronics, automotive, medical, and even the
petrochemical industries. Most recently, cold spray of near-net
shaped parts was accomplished - something previously assumed to be
impossible because of the limitations of commercially available
cold spray systems and a lack of fundamental understanding
regarding the process. The cost of cold spray has also declined,
making it appealing to industry through the introduction of new
powders, surface preparation techniques, and recovery systems
tailored to the cold spray process. Though primarily intended for
users of the technology, this handbook is also a valuable resource
for researchers interested in advances in cold spray materials,
improved feedstock powders, advanced hardware and software
development, surface preparation techniques, and the numerous
applications developed to date. For example, cold spray aluminum
alloys have been developed that offer the strength and ductility of
wrought material in the as-sprayed condition. This has yet to be
achieved by conventional powder consolidation methods including
laser sintering, electron beam, and ultrasonic techniques. Other
topics covered include additive manufacturing, structural repair,
nondestructive evaluation, advanced cold spray materials,
qualification requirements, cold spray systems comparison, and,
finally, helium recovery. Thanks to its practical focus, the book
provides readers with everything they need to understand, evaluate,
and implement cold spray technology.
