Cold Gas Dynamic Spray

Step-by-step, this text explains how cold gas dynamic spray works and what it can do. It walks the reader through the very first principles of cold spraying all the way through powder preparation, problems related to the transport and injection of a powder into a gas-powder jet, metallurgy of coating formation, methods of cold spray (CS) coatings characterization, and application of the deposited coatings. Featuring a clear layout and a number of high-quality figures, the book comprises a balanced mixture of engineering practice-oriented information and theoretical background.
