Abstract Scope |
With advancements in the cold spray community, simple geometric consolidations for flat plate and similar builds are becoming more commonplace. These depositions are appropriate for the demonstration of the capability of being able to deposit material, or a combination of materials but the spray approach does not necessarily translate well to complex geometry. A practical approach to deposition of, for example, a wear-resistant coating on a complex geometry will be discussed herein. The objective of this presentation is to address key practical path planning logistics in conjunction with surface preparation techniques to help optimally deposit various powders ranging from softer alloys like copper and aluminum to hard steels and wear-resistant coatings. Moreover, considerations like masking can play a critical role in the successful deposition will be discussed. |
