Development of Cold-sprayed Boron Carbide Metal Matrix Composite Coatings for Wear Resistance Applications
DownloadSpring 2017
Low-pressure cold spraying was used to fabricate boron carbide-based metal matrix composite coatings for wear resistance applications. Titanium carbide and tungsten carbide-based metal matrix composite coatings were also evaluated to allow for comparison. Powder blends containing 50, 75, and 92...

Development of Microstructure-Informed Computational Models for the Design of Cold-Sprayed Additively Manufactured Metal-Ceramic Composite Materials
DownloadFall 2024
This thesis develops microstructure-based finite element (FE) models of cold-sprayed additively manufactured (CSAM) metal-ceramic composites – Al-Al2O3 in this research – to fill a gap in our understanding of the microscale failure progression in the material in correlation with its macroscale...

Development of a lab-scale heat exchanger with increased mesh to tube contact area was accomplished by flattening tubing prior to attaching wire mesh. This novel heat exchanger prototype utilizes thermal sprayed coating to attach wire mesh onto tubing surfaces instead of conventional brazing or...
