Corrosion in Cold Spray DepositionCold spray deposition is a promising technology for in-situ repair of damaged metallic components. In cold spray, small metal particles are accelerated towards a substrate at supersonic velocities, and permenantly bond to the surface upon impact. This process creates novel, complex microstructures that are significantly different than their traditionally manufactured counterparts. Our goal is to understand how these novel microstructures influence corrosion performance of cold spray deposited materials. We are also interested in the effect of both pre- and post-processing procedures on corrosion behavior of cold spray deposits. Support for this work has come from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Defense Sciences Office as part of the Technical Corrosion Collaboration (TCC) Program.
For this effort, we have worked with:
