Abstract

In laser-assisted cold spray (LACS) technology, the cold spray gun is coupled, in a single device, with one or more laser heads resulting in an effective combination of laser pretreatment of the substrate and the build-up of coating. Compared to coatings which have been produced by conventional cold spray process, LACS coatings present improved properties: higher adhesion and cohesion strength, less porosity, higher hardness, etc. Moreover, LACS presents high deposition efficiencies, making this method an attractive solution for the formation of advanced coatings.
