| Abstract Scope |
The solid-state cold spray additive manufacturing technique represents a groundbreaking approach to the freeform fabrication of components. In this study, mechanical testing samples were produced from a variety of cold-sprayed materials, including titanium, aluminum, copper, and niobium. Additionally, various heat treatment routes for both copper and aluminum alloys were conducted, such as hot isostatic pressing (HIPping), annealing, and sintering, to identify optimal post-processing routes for achieving high-quality components. This talk will delve into the manufacturing and spraying strategies employed in the production of these materials, as well as the microstructural differences observed compared to traditional cold spray coatings. Key highlights will include an in-depth examination of the materials and processing techniques aimed at advancing cold spray additive manufacturing as a production method.
