Owing to low spraying temperature and high particle velocity, cold spray is a rapidly developing solid-material deposition technology that has broad application prospects in areas of metal coating preparation, additive manufacturing, and component repair. The Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has conducted extensive research on cold spray, including the exploration of bonding mechanism, strategies and methods of tailoring microstructures and properties of deposits, and application of the cold spray technology. This paper systematically introduces the research progress of cold spray by the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
