“…This result is similar to the result of compressive deformation of general bulk aluminum materials reported by Gourdet and Montheillet, 17) i.e., although dynamic recovery behavior occurs when kinetic sprayed materials have been deformed at high strain rates, it does so only in certain regions. Accordingly, strain softening behaviors decrease greatly, 18) and deformation hardening phenomena, where flow stress is similar to that of general materials' behavior, occur. Given the abovementioned results, kinetic sprayed aluminum materials can be considered to be a new high-strength material wherein severe plastic deformation effects are evenly controlled throughout the material because every powder particle has been independently processed strongly and hardened (during the deposition process).…”
