Abstract
Knowledge of thermal interactions between the substrate and deposited particles during cold spraying can shed light on coating formation and bonding mechanisms. In this study, a mathematical model based on the differential quadrature method was used to solve the hyperbolic heat conduction problem to predict the transient thermal evolution associated with the impact of a single particle. In addition, a 2D finite element model was developed to simulate the thermal and dynamic behavior of particle impact. The two models showed good agreement in predicting the maximum temperature at the particle-substrate interface. It was concluded that the proposed mathematical model could be used to predict the transient temperature of metallic and nonmetallic particle-substrate interfaces during cold spray deposition.
