The influence of process parameters and heat treatment on the properties of cold sprayed silver coatings

► High conductivity, thick and dense coatings silver coatings were obtained ► Effect of key process parameters (especially particle velocity) on coating properties was studied ► The effect of heat treatments on properties was also studied in detail ► Comprehensive Structure property correlation was carried out (using SEM, TEM) ► Effect of feedstock purity on coating properties was analyzed and its subsequent effect via Internal oxidation has been covered.
