Abstract The exceptional properties of Ti-6Al-4V high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance and machinability make it one the most widely used alloys in aerospace industry. Significant efforts are underway to establish powder bed additive manufacturing technologies for Ti-6Al-4V. There also increasing attempts use thermal cold spray build near-net-shaped parts with buildup rates orders ma...

Thermal sprayed HVOF WC-based cermet coatings containing various metallic binders have been used in several different applications industries that require abrasive sliding wear resistance, such as hydraulic pistons, shafts or bearings. The potential dangerousness and cost increase off cobalt-based binders, underlining the challenge reducing reliance on this metal binder resistant coatings. pres...
