Cold Spray: Its Prominence as an Additive Manufacturing Technology -- Commercial cold spray equipment -- The influence of feedstock powder -- Cold spray deposition on polymeric and composite substrates -- Advanced modeling and simulation tools to address build-up issues in CSAM -- Laser assisted cold spray deposition -- Development of CuAlNi shape memory alloy structures using cold spray deposition technique with laser remelting -- Dimension analysis and laser-ultrasonic inspection of CSAM components.

This book sheds light on the development of the cold spray process in applications of additive manufacturing (AM) and repair/remanufacturing engineering. It covers the process fundamentals of different cold spray techniques, namely low pressure cold spray and high pressure cold spray process. Bonding mechanism and powder substrate interface are an important part of the book. The chapters present the recent developments in materials used in cold spraying for AM and various coating applications. The latest research in this area as well as possible avenues of future research are also highlighted as a way to encourage the researchers.
