Abstract  Surface condition, especially surface roughness of substrates, critically influences the adhesion of coldsprayed titanium alloy coatings. To study this, Ti6Al4V (Ti64) coatings were deposited on Ti64 substrates with increasing surface roughness (Ra) from 0.05 µm (polished surface) to 5.4  µm (water-jet cut surface). It was found that the substrate surface roughness did not significantly affect the porosity, hardness and coating surface roughness because these properties were dependent on the deposition parameters such as propellant gas pressure and temperature and nozzle traverse speed. The adhesion test results showed that smoother substrate surfaces improved the coating bond strength of the cold-sprayed Ti64 coatings from about 7.1 MPa (Ra: 5.4 µm, interface failure) to 68.7 MPa (Ra: 0.05 µm, glue failure). The fracture characteristics of the debonded coating/substrate interfaces revealed that there were more adiabatic shear-induced craters observed on the smoother substrate surfaces.

Introduction Ti6Al4V (Ti64) is a particularly attractive alloy for highperformance structural applications due to its high specific strength, low density, high corrosion resistance and great thermal stability up to 400 °C (Ref 1). However, aerospace components made of Ti64 often suffer from wear, erosion and tear over their service periods due to harsh operation conditions. Repair of the damaged Ti64 components is
