Cold Spray Technology for Light Metals and Porous Structures

Abstract:

Studies show that, for viable product realisation and maintenance, a spectrum of novel processing technologies and materials to improve performance and reduce costs and environmental impact must constantly be addressed. One of these technologies, namely the cold spray process has enabled a broad range of coatings and applications, including many that have not been previously possible or commercially practical, hence its potential for new light metal applications. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to highlight some advantages of this technology and explore how the cold spray process could be used to repair light metal unserviceable components and develop new light metals including light metal porous structures.
