PROCESS OF APPLYING POROUS METALLIC STRUCTURE AND COLD-SPRAYED ARTICLE

摘要

A process of applying a porous metallic structure and a cold-sprayed article are disclosed. The process includes cold spraying a solid feedstock and a low-melt material onto an article and removing at least a portion of the low-melt materials or applying a porous metallic structure includes cold spraying onto an article with two converging-diverging nozzles. The cold-sprayed article includes a porous metallic structure having a portion formed from cold spraying a solid feedstock. The portion includes the phases and microstructure of the solid feedstock.
