Abstract: 

Cold particle gas spray, or simply, cold-spray (CS) is a manufacturing method used to form a thick coating by impacting powder particles onto a substrate with supersonic velocities. The powder is accelerated through a supersonic nozzle but remains well below the melting temperature prior to impact. The relationships between the powder properties, processing parameters and the quality of the final coating are topics of research interest in our group of four PIs at NU. In particular, we are interested in discovering the bonding mechanism(s) which may very well be different for different materials. In this presentation an overview of mechanics of high velocity (102-103 m/s) particle impacts is provided. An experimental setup specially designed to determine the high strain rate (107 - 108) material behavior of materials by impacting single particles with sapphire and metal substrates will be described. A bilinear version of a phenomenological flow stress model calibrated based on these single particle experiments will be introduced. Mechanisms of a material instability in the internal regions of the powder will be presented. An idea to determine the bonding energy between the particles based on impact experiments will be discussed. This ongoing work is useful in uncovering the fundamental mechanics of particle bonding in the CS technology.
