Abstract
Cold spray is a promising technology for manufacturing and repair of steel construction because of its low heat input and high efficiency. However, the unfavourable strength-ductility synergy is a critical challenge that prevents its further application. The present work aims to investigate the performance of stainless steel SS304L deposited on structural steel S355J0 by cold spray, considering the effects of particle velocity and post heat treatment. The dislocation evolution and recrystallisation behaviour of cold sprayed SS304L steel during the annealing were studied through a combination of grain misorientation mapping, dislocation density quantification and fracture mechanism analysis. The correlation between dislocation evolution, metallurgical bonding behaviour and mechanical properties was elucidated. The results suggest that the as-sprayed deposits show a brittle fracture with particle boundary failure. Annealing above the recrystallisation temperature can eliminate the dislocations and accelerate the interface diffusion of particles, thus achieving the improvement of strength-ductility synergy. The outcome of this study demonstrates the potential of cold spray as an alternative additive manufacturing or repair technology for steel construction.
期刊介绍:
Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
