| Abstract Scope |
Using N2 as the carrier gas and achieving satisfactory structural properties has been a challenging goal for cold spray. This research investigates the impact of various thermal and thermomechanical treatments on the structural properties of N2-sprayed Al-6061 as free-standing material. Three groups of samples were examined: the first group underwent post heat treatments, including hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and conventional heat treatments; The second group was subjected to thermomechanical treatments; and the third group was fabricated using in-situ laser-assisted cold spray technique. The mechanical properties of the deposited materials were comprehensively evaluated and compared with deposits sprayed with He gas and the wrought material. The results revealed that the mechanical properties of N2-sprayed deposits show significantly improvement after post-treatment and in-situ laser heating. This research provides valuable insights and contributes to the advancement of cold spray technology by enhancing the structural characteristics of N2-sprayed materials. |
