Description
Book SynopsisYour Guide to Advanced Cold Spray Technology
Cold Gas Dynamic Spray centers on cold gas dynamic spray (or cold sprayCS) technology, one of the most versatile thermal spray coating methods in materials engineering, and effectively describes and analyzes the main trends and developments behind the spray (coating) techniques. The book combines theory with practice to enable the reader to deeper understand the CS coatings as well as their structures and properties, and describes the state of the art in CS technology with an emphasis on all major components of the cold spray process.
This book begins with an introduction to CS spray and goes on to thoroughly explain the process. It describes the different powder synthesis methods and equipment currently used, and defines the CS coating microstructure, characterization methods, and properties of CS coatings. The authors present a comprehensive approach that highlights gr
Trade Review
"I began working in cold spray shortly after it arrived in the United States and have performed research in all areas including equipment design, process development, modeling, application development and technology transfer and I have found the book to be an excellent resource for me and for the students and staff that work in my group. … The level of detail makes it ideal for both engineers and scientists that want to learn about cold spray and for those who are already working in cold spray. This book can also be used as reference and a guide for developing new or improving current applications. In addition to the text, the detailed references provide the reader with the most up to date and comprehensive information on cold spray."

"… a useful contribution giving a lot of information about [the] rapidly changing field of cold sprayed coatings technology. … useful for the readers from academia and industry. The university lecturers may find a lot of information about fundamental aspects of cold spray coatings deposition technology and the engineers active on industrial R&D may be interested in nondestructive evaluation of coatings. Finally, the entrepreneurs… would be interested in the economic analysis [of] the cold spraying."
