TL;DR: In this article, cold gas dynamic spray or simply cold spray (CS) is a process in which solid powders are accelerated in a de Laval nozzle toward a substrate, and if the impact velocity exceeds a threshold value, particles endure plastic deformation and adhere to the surface.
Abstract: Cold gas dynamic spray or simply cold spray (CS) is a process in which solid powders are accelerated in a de Laval nozzle toward a substrate. If the impact velocity exceeds a threshold value, particles endure plastic deformation and adhere to the surface. Different materials such as metals, ceramics, composites and polymers can be deposited using CS, creating a wealth of interesting opportunities towards harvesting particular properties. CS is a novel and promising technology to obtain surface coating, offering several technological advantages over thermal spray since it utilizes kinetic rather than thermal energy for deposition. As a result, tensile residual stresses, oxidation and undesired chemical reactions can be avoided. Development of new material systems with enhanced properties covering a wide range of required functionalities of surfaces and interfaces, from internal combustion engines to biotechnology, brought forth new opportunities to the cold spraying with a rich variety of material ...

TL;DR: AISI316 stainless steel has been plasma nitrided at 570°C over a range of processing conditions, and the resultant corrosion properties have been investigated by a potentiodynamic polarization technique as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: AISI316 stainless steel has been plasma nitrided at 570°C over a range of processing conditions, and the resultant corrosion properties have been investigated by a potentiodynamic polarization technique. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies have been used to map the process parameters under which a duplex surface compound layer of γ' phase and austenite is formed. This surface compound layer has better corrosion resistance than a plasma nitrided stainless steel surface, where the normal hardened layer consists of austenite' and chromium nitride precipitates. It has been found that the improvement in corrosion resistance is related to the presence of the γ' nitride. Furthermore; low temperature plasma nitriding at 400° C produces a nitrided layer which has a corrosion resistance equivalent to that of the original material.

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of shot peening process to obtain nanocrystal surface is presented with an inclusive clarification of actual state of the art, and the available microstructural characteristics of thin layers obtained with different processes are depicted.
Abstract: The importance of application of shot peening process to obtain nanocrystal surface is presented with an inclusive clarification of actual state of the art. Description of different shot peening methods which have proved to be able to create nanocrystallised layers is presented. Then the available microstructural characteristics of nanocrystal thin layers obtained with different processes are depicted. In addition, the influence of the process is reviewed on material behaviour under different loading conditions. On this basis, some possible addresses for future research in this field are drawn and underlined.
