Abstract

Abstract Cold and detonation spraying methods are based on the interaction of high-velocity particles with substrate. High quality coatings from various powder materials can be deposited. In both processes, the substrate experiences insignificant thermal effect. Thermally sensitive powder can be sprayed with no oxidation and decomposition. The initial powder microstructure and even nanostructure can be preserved under properly selected spraying conditions. This study is based on a comparative analysis of the mechanical, electrical, and heat transfer properties of a series of coatings deposited by cold and detonation spraying technologies. The coatings are produced from copper and aluminum powders using a commercial Cold Spray equipment CGT-4000 and an original computer-controlled detonation spraying (CCDS) installation developed by the authors. The coating microhardness, density, electrical and heat conductivity, adhesion, cohesion, etc. are measured and compared. Particular advantages and drawbacks of both spraying methods are discussed.
