Helium or nitrogen gas at up to 1100°C
and 50-60 bar
Metallic powders propelled by high pressure supersonic He or N2 gas stream to reach a critical velocity
Solid particles propelled on to substrate where they impact and plastically
deform to build up a coating.

Localised, transient adiabatic shear instabilities at the interface:
Kinetic energy converted to deformation and thermal energy Rapid, highly localised, transient temperature increase at
interface → drop in yield strength at interface (YS=f(T)) Brief and highly localised plastic flow of particle and substrate
leads to bonding
Cold spray principle
Spray particle – deformed on impact
