Factors of Nozzle Design Affecting on Supersonic Flow in Cold Spray Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cold spray process is a relatively new process using high velocity metallic particles for surface modifications. Metallic powder particles which are injected into a converging-diverging nozzle are accelerated to supersonic velocities. In this study effects of nozzle design such as diameter of nozzle throat and length of converging and diverging part of the nozzle on gas and particle velocities developed after the nozzle exit are investigated.
