Abstract:
Optimization of the cold spray process is extremely challenging due to the involvement of a large number
of process parameters as well as material properties. Modern
approaches for modeling the cold spray process have relied
largely on numerical simulations. In this paper, we shall
present a simplified mathematical model which will be
benchmarked against experimental and numerical measurements available in the literature and demonstrate that the
model shows reasonable agreement with real-world observations. We will present a parametric study using this model
and identify the factors that strongly affect the cold spray
process, which can be used for identifying and optimizing
the process parameters and the material properties.
