“…Matthew et al [8,9] successfully combined laser cladding with cold spraying together to prepare high-density coatings consisting of Ti and Ti alloy, and used cold N 2 as a carrier gas to reduce the cost of cold spraying. The supersonic laser deposition (SLD) method offers many advantages by combining laser with cold spraying, in particular, the use of a laser to control the deposition temperature, which allows hard materials, such as Stellite 6 and carbide [10,11], to be deposited while maintains the key advantages offered by solid-state cold spraying and replaces high cost helium with nitrogen. Moreover, the high-speed impact of particles on the substrate produces severe plastic deformation, resulting in a good bonding of the coating and the substrate.…”
