Cold Spray Tensile Strength Literature Review

Delivered January 5, 2020. Contributor: ChristineD

Goals

Obtain a list of articles or studies that show test results of cold spray-deposited materials that have shown ultimate tensile strength values that are equal to or greater than 125,000 pounds per square inch. The data will be used prove that cold sprayed materials can withstand harsh operational environments such as oil and gas operations.

Early Findings

Cold Spray Tensile Strength Literature ReviewBased on a study from the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology, cold-sprayed coatings that incorporate helium resulted in a higher tensile strength.
Using this technique, the resulting tensile strength can reach around 85% of the "minimum required bulk value."
Higher levels of tensile strength was also observed when Ti-6Al-4V coatings were made to undergo a "hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process."
This reinforced process resulted in a tensile strength of 900MPa (130,534 psi).
Materials used include commercial Ti-6Al-4V ELI powder that was produced using "as atomization with near-spherical morphology."
The powder particles had a "Gaussian size distribution from 1 to 75 μm with an average particle size of about 30 μm."
The substrates were 100 × 50 × 5 mm plates that are produced using low carbon steel JIS: SS400, which were "grit-blasted with alumina powder and cleaned using acetone before spraying."
