 Abstract:
In this study, a solid-state deposition process, cold spraying (CS) was employed to deposit a thick Cu-Zn alloy coating. Friction stir processing (FSP) technique another very effective solid-state technique, was subjected to produce a high-strength ultrafine-grained coating. Results show that the CSed coating highlights an elongated microstructure with an average grain size of 1.9 ¼m and a fraction of the low-angle grain boundaries of 78.42%. After FSP, the coating was characterized by the ultrafine grains with an average of 0.6 ¼m and a fraction of the high-angle grain boundaries of 90.47% (a fraction of £3 boundaries about 27.49 %). The FSPed coating was composed with ± (Cu3Zn), ²2 (CuZn) and ³ (Cu5Zn8) phases while the CSed coating was mainly ± phase. In addition, significant mechanical properties enhancement was observed after FSP, i.e. the fracture elongation from 0.17% to 0.81% and ultimate tensile strength from 87.2±5.9 MPa to 257.5±4.8 MPa, the precipitates of ²2 and little ³ has a significant effect on the fracture of the FSPed coating at room temperature.
