Influence of Dissipated Energy on the Bonding Strength of Cold-Sprayed Titanium Coatings on Selected Metallic Substrates
Medard Makrenek
TL;DR
This study shows that dissipated energy during nanoindentation better predicts the adhesion strength of titanium coatings on metals than traditional mechanical properties.
Contribution
The paper introduces dissipated energy as a novel and highly predictive metric for cold-spray coating adhesion.
Findings
Dissipated energy correlated strongly with adhesion (R² = 0.92), unlike hardness and modulus (R² < 0.24).
Optimized cold-spray parameters were identified using the Taguchi method, reducing experiments from 81 to 9.
Pull-off tests confirmed the adhesion strength of titanium coatings on various substrates.
Abstract
Modern nanoindentation equipment allows for highly precise measurements of mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus, generating detailed load–unload curves using advanced techniques and specialised software. In this study, titanium coatings were deposited on various metallic substrates using cold gas spraying. Before deposition, the spraying parameters (temperature, pressure, velocity, and distance) were statistically optimised using the Taguchi method, reducing the number of experiments required from 81 to 9. This approach allowed the identification of optimal spray conditions (T = 731.0 °C, p = 33.0 bar, V = 343.6 mm/s, d = 35.5 mm), which were then applied to substrates including brass, steel, titanium, Al7075, copper, magnesium, and Al2024. Mechanical characterisation included hardness (H), reduced modulus (E), coating adhesion, and dissipated energy, calculated…
