Abstract: Process of cold spraying was dveloped by prof A. Papyrin team in the mid of 80 of the last century and it has found a lot of new applications in different branches of industry. The main advantage of this process it is possibility to avoid detrimental influence of temperature on the sprayed powder particles and substrate what occurs in the case of other methods of thermal spraying. It is the reason why unique properties of cold spraying coatings are not possible to achieve by other methods. CGT Kinetics 4000 system has been applied to spray samples. Results of structure investigations and properties of cold sprayed cooper coatings carried out by means of SEM Jeol JSM 5400 are presented.
