Abstract

Abstract : Cold spraying (CS) is a coating technique, which has developed rapidly in the last two decades and shows great potential in the industrial community due to its advantages of low temperature deposition as well as no oxides forming in the coating. This review's focus is on the behaviour of particles impacting and the prediction of critical velocity for particle deposition during CS as calculated by numerical simulations according to the open literature. The first part presents an introduction of CS and its particle bonding mechanism. The second part briefly introduces the typically employed numerical computation methods and compares these methods. The third part discusses the effect of particle parameters on particle deformation behaviour. Finally, the current problems and prospects existing in numerical simulations of the impact of CS particles are explored.
