 Abstract:
Cold gas dynamic spraying, namely cold spray, is an innovative coating process in which powder particles are injected in a supersonic gas flow to be accelerated above a certain critical velocity. Even though particles adhesion onto the substrate has not be yet elucidated, it appears clearly that it is influenced by particle impact velocity, which results from spraying conditions, diameter of particles and their positions from the center of the particle jet.
Particle velocity can change dramatically depending on particle position from the core to the rim of the jet. In the present work, an original experimental set-up was designed to discriminate the particles as a function of the levels of velocity to investigate the influence of this parameter on adhesion. Particles at given positions in the jet could therefore be observed using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), which showed different morphologies and microstructures as a function of impact velocity. High pressure and tangential velocity at the interface during impact were calculated from numerical simulations using ABAQUS®. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) analyses of thin foils were carried out to investigate into resulting local interface phenomena. These were correlated to particle impact velocity and corresponding adhesion strength which was obtained from LASAT testing (LAser Shock Adhesion Test).
