Porosity is critical regarding cold sprayed coatings properties: it can be an asset for certain
applications as in tribology, it is generally at the cost of mechanical and anti-corrosion …

This article is dealing with the effects of surface preparation of the substrate on aluminum
cold-sprayed coating bond strength. Different sets of AA2024-T3 specimens have been coated …

This study investigates the microstructure, the mechanical properties, the topography and
the tribological behavior of a composite coating obtained by cold spray, as a potential …

The tribological performance of a thermal sprayed, mirror-like surface with localized
protuberances was investigated through tribotests and computational simulation. A composite …

A coating buildup model was developed, the aim of which was simulating the microstructure
of a tantalum coating cold sprayed onto a copper substrate. To do so, first was operated a …

Recent studies showed that cold spray is a suitable way to produce metallic coatings on non-metallic
surfaces such as polymers and composites for engineering applications. …

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are the most used in aerospace fields due to their
special mechanical properties coupled with reduced weight. Metallic structures can be …

Industries developing cold spray aim at dense and resistant coatings for component repair.
However, as-sprayed 316L coatings display non-equilibrium microstructure and brittle …

We tested, by means of simulations, the idea of a patterned contact between composite
electrode and electrolyte of a SOFC. Simulation results show that the patterned studied geometry …

Aluminum (Al) powders with spherical and irregular particle shapes were mixed with two
alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) powders with either a spherical or an angular particle shape to achieve high-…
