The Microstructural Annealing Response Of Cold Gas Dynamically Sprayed Al 6061, Clayton Andrew Cushway
The Microstructural Annealing Response Of Cold Gas Dynamically Sprayed Al 6061, Clayton Andrew Cushway
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The Cold-Gas Dynamic-Spray process also known as Cold Spray (CS) has been researched for three decades. The CS process is a solid-state deposition technique via supersonic velocity of powder particles at a temperature significantly below the melting point of the spray material. This thesis presents background on the overall CS process parameters, and additional information on the microstructural and mechanical properties of typical Cold Sprayed materials.This Thesis primarily presents a study on the microstructural annealing response of CS Al 6061. It should be noted that for this study, the term “annealing” is used in the sense of the classical metallurgical …
