Cold spray is a solid-state powder deposition technique and has evolved into an additive manufacturing process. Unlike conventional additive manufacturing technologies that rely on melting and solidification, cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) forms components at low temperatures at a relatively high build rate. This article introduces the technical principles, process parameters and typical microstructure of cold spray, as well as its applications in the fabrication of 3D components and damaged component repair. Current issues faced in cold spray research and future development directions in CSAM are also discussed.
