Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cold spray technology could change the way that we design and make products. As a coating technology, it solves many of the inconveniences of traditional thermal spraying technologies, such as oxidation and phase transformations. As an additive manufacturing technology, it could be able to produce complex shapes that cannot be produced by traditional techniques. In aeronautics, energy, and many other sectors, many parts produced via cold spray are subject to an environment that can progressively wear out, corrode/erode, or strain the materials until fracture. Generally, Ni-based superalloys exhibit very high corrosion resistance and provide high strength and good machinability. For these reasons, they are increasingly used in modern industry. Therefore, the starting point of this Special Issue is the lack of information about the cold spray technology using Ni-based superalloys powders for wear, corrosion, and fatigue applications. Papers in this Special Issue are focused on how cold spray and Ni-based superalloys can be integrated into different industrial sectors and address the key drivers for innovation.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

The wear and fretting behaviour of IN625 cold spray coatings was analysed and the results are presented. The cold spray conditions were selected in order to obtain coatings with minimum porosity and maximum particles splat. This leads to compact and hard deposited material able to resist wear damaging and to dissipate energy during fretting. The coating’s strength was evaluated through nanoindentation that revealed an increased hardness from the surface toward the substrate. This different hardening behaviour from the coating surface toward the substrate leads to increased resistance to fretting and wear as the maximum stresses increase. This was revealed by scratch tests performed at linearly increasing loads that allowed identifying of the damage mechanisms acting on the coating as the triaxial stresses increase. The hardening behaviour of the coating also influenced the fretting behaviour revealed by the weight loss experienced by varying the fretting maximum load. Full article

Reinforced Inconel625 coatings have been successfully deposited by means of cold gas spray (CGS). Alumina has been simultaneously sprayed achieving a homogeneous distribution along the deposit with good cohesion between particles. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ceramic reinforcement could improve the mechanical and tribological properties of Inconel625 cold-sprayed coatings, while keeping the oxidation and corrosion resistance capacity. Furthermore, alumina particles were found to improve the spraying feasibility, by avoiding WC nozzle clogging during the process. A proper optimization of the spraying conditions was carried out in order to obtain the lowest possible porosity and best embedment of the alumina. Then, the mechanical and tribological properties as well as corrosion and oxidation behavior were characterized. Alumina acts as a reinforcement, improving the effects of abrasive and sliding wear. Regarding the oxidation and corrosion behavior, the coatings exhibit reasonably good oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 900 °C. The electrochemical corrosion performance in NaCl solution showed potentially lower noble corrosion values and corrosion current densities than bulk Inconel. Full article
