Figure 1. (A) Digital image of the waterjet cut HPDC A365 substrate/base material as reference specimens that therefore did not undergo cold gas dynamic spray (CGDS) processing. (B) Digital photo of the thinly coated and Cu CGDS processed A365 HPDC substrate specimens. (C,D) Digital images are similar to (B), where Ni and Ti were utilized as feedstock, respectively. For reference, the thickness of the base material (see (C) with the properly oriented specimen labeled “30”) was 2.5 mm before CGDS processing or postprocessing after that. Solution treatments we
