Woodhead Publishing Advances in Cold Spray: A Coating Deposition and Additive Manufacturing Process (Woodhead Publishing Series in Metals and Surface Engineering)

Product Description Cold Spray: A Coating Deposition and Additive Manufacturing Process, Second Edition reviews the fundamental processes and recent advances made in the field of cold spray. This fully updated edition now includes a special chapter on Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing. Advancements in impact modelling and simulation that allow a better understanding of the cold spray bonding mechanisms are discussed, and powder synthesis and predictive modelling to improve the engineering of cold spray powders are highlighted within an engineering by design approach. Improvements in cold spray equipment and automation provide the reader with insight as to the new capabilities of cold spray within a manufacturing environment and include the world’s first high efficient helium recovery system, which reduces the costs by over 80 times. Materials properties data is a backbone of this book because the advanced cold spray materials have proven to be comparable to wrought and enable cold spray to be incorporated into structural applications for near-net shape parts production as well as for repair. Finally, numerous modern applications of cold spray representative of the Electronics, Medical, Petrochemical, Nuclear, Aerospace, Automotive, and Additive Manufacturing industries are presented.
