Tomographic Investigation of Bonding and Microstructure in Supersonic Microparticle Impacts

Tomographic Investigation of Bonding and Microstructure in Supersonic Microparticle Impacts Panova, Veera The Laser Induced Particle Impact Test (LIPIT) enables particle-wise controlled launch of micron-scale metallic powders at velocities relevant to cold spray deposition. Many cold spray studies are empirical and discuss the effects of process parameters on porosity, density, and only aggregate material properties. As such, LIPIT is a powerful platform for probing the fundamental mechanisms go
