Abstract Cold spray is a high rate, direct material deposition process that utilises the kinetic energy of particles sprayed at velocities in excess of 700 m s −1 to effect bonding through plastic deformation on impact. This paper describes the preliminary analysis of aluminium coatings deposited by this route. Attention is paid to splat morphology and instances of metallurgic bonding within the microstructure.
