Cold gas dynamic spray technology: A comprehensive review of processing conditions for various technological developments till to date

Today, cold gas dynamic spray (CGDS) technology has thrived with considerable capabilities for manufacturing various technological depositions. The deposition conditions have been developed through many years and that have led to produce ample experimental data which is available in the literature. But, recent research and development activities also reveal innovative findings regarding various deposition conditions. This paper contains a review of experimental deposition procedures for the cold spray additive manufacturing. Details of processing conditions are reported and classified into various categories of baseline working conditions, specific processing including deposition of nanotechnological components, composites-based structures and hybrid coating with substrate deposition. Available substrate treatments and their contributions on the deposition capability were also included. A large collection of experimental data from the literature is addressed.
