Abstract: Cold spraying is the state-of-the-art of thermal spraying which allows to obtain new unique properties of a coating. These properties are unattainable by conventional thermal spray processes. The paper shows fundamental issues of the cold spray process and possibility of the spraying of composite coatings. Some results of a microstructure and phase composition of cold sprayed Ni-Al2O3 coatings are presented.
