This book focuses on the current state of the art of the novel cold spray process. Cold spray
is a solid state metal consolidation process which allows engineers to tailor surface and
shape properties by optimizing process parameters powder characteristics and substrate
conditions for a wide variety of applications that are difficult or impossible by other
techniques. Readers will benefit from this book's coverage of the commercial evolution of cold
spray since the 1980's and will gain a practical understanding of what the technology has to
offer.
