Abstract

The cold spray (CS) process is an advanced material deposition method that has emerged as a versatile method to create high-performance coatings and functional components. This process offers unique advantages in achieving exceptional material adhesion and properties without needing high-temperature melting or heating. The CS process enables the deposition of cermets, allowing it to combine the favorable properties of their constituent phases. This review article explores the bonding mechanism specific to the CS deposition of cermets, highlighting its contrast with that of pure metals. It subsequently investigates the pivotal role played by ceramic particles in the overall efficiency of the CS deposition process, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of particle properties to achieve quality coatings for specific applications. The paper explores the challenges and limitations imposed by the CS process of cermets in optimizing the crucial parameters. It dissects the influence of interfacial bond strength and porosities on the tribological and corrosion properties of CS-deposited coatings. The discussion extends to the significant role played by substrate in shaping the coating’s characteristics. The potential for enhancing coating properties through post-processing treatments is also thoroughly examined. The review article also discusses current advancements in the field and contemplates potential future directions, offering a comprehensive exploration of CS deposition of cermets and its multifaceted considerations.
