Adiabatic Shear Instability Based Mechanism for Particles/Substrate Bonding in the Cold Gas Dynamic Spray Process

Abstract

Particles/substrate interactions during the cold-gas dynamic-spray deposition process are studied using a dynamic axisymmetric thermo-mechanical finite element analysis. In addition, the particles/substrate bonding mechanism has been investigated using a one-dimensional thermo-mechanical model for adiabatic strain softening and the accompanying adiabatic shear localization. The results obtained show that the minimal impact particles velocity needed to produce shear localization at the particles/substrate interface correlates quite well with the critical velocity for particles deposition by the cold-gas dynamic-spray process in a number of metallic materials. This finding suggests that the onset of adiabatic shear instability in the particles/substrate interfacial region plays an important role in promoting particle/substrate adhesion and, thus, particles/substrate bonding during the cold-gas dynamic-spray process.
