New Literature New Cold Spray Publication: The Cold Spray Materials Deposition Process: Fundamentals and Applications This new book, published by Woodhead Publishing, Ltd. (edited by V.K. Champagne, U.S. Army Research Laboratory), examines the fundamentals of the cold spraying process, assesses how the technique can best be applied in practice, and describes portable and stationary cold spray systems. The cold spray process produces dense, low-oxide coatings that can be used in such diverse applications as corrosion control and metals repair. It has emerged as an important alternative to thermal spray coating techniques in certain areas. This book reviews both the fundamentals of the process and how it can best be applied in practice. The first part of the book discusses the development of the process together with its advantages and disadvantages compared with thermal spray coating techniques. Part 2 reviews key process parameters such as powders, nozzle design, particle temperature and velocity, and particle/substrate interaction. It also describes portable and stationary
cold spray systems. The final part of the book discusses how the cold spray process can be applied in such areas as improved wear, corrosion protection, electromagnetic interference shielding, and repair of damaged components. For further information see: www.wood headpublishing.com.
The Science and Engineering of Thermal Spray Coatings, Second Edition, Published The Science and Engineering of Thermal Spray Coatings, second edition, by Lech Pawlowski, explores the physics and chemistry of thermal spraying with coverage of feedstock materials, prespray treatments, postspray treatments, and the various spray techniques currently in use. This entirely rewritten second edition also covers the advanced methods of coating characterization describing measurements of mechanical, electrical, physical, and chemical properties. The book concludes with a lengthy chapter on thermal spray applications including aeronautics and space, automobiles, ceramics, chemicals, civil engineering, decorative coatings, electronics, energy generation and
transport, iron and steel, medicine, mining, and the nuclear industries. The book follows on the success of the first edition, published in 1995, and describes new topics in thermal spray technology such as nanostructured deposits, the cold spray method, and advanced mathematical methods of process modeling. Lech Pawlowski has been Professor of Surface Engineering at Ecole Nationale Supe´rieure de Chimie de Lille (ENSCL) in France since 1999. His research work is primarily focused on different aspects of thermal spraying and laser treatment of materials. His current research is focused on suspension plasma sprayed ceramic coatings. Dr. Pawlowski has worked in the thermal spray industry as a project manager, consultant, and managing director in Germany, Italy, and France. His research appointments have included positions at the University of Stuttgart (Germany), Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), and the University
