Analytical Evaluation of Temperature Distribution within a Substrate Under an Impinging Cold Spray Hot Air Jet

In this study, a mathematical model based on 2D heat conduction was developed to determine the temperature distribution within different substrate materials during cold gas dynamic spraying. Heat transfer between the hot gas and substrate was estimated theoretically and experimentally and the results were compared with those obtained from numerical studies. The heat transfer coefficient was found to be dependent on the distance from the stagnation point of the impinging air jet. It was also concluded that at higher air jet temperatures, the Nusselt number of the spreading air film near the stagnation point could be affected by external heat exchange with colder ambient air.
