Definitions
- Thermal spray technologies such as the cold spray process can be used for various applications such as applying metal layers to non-metallic substrates to make metal layer-containing composite articles, applying metal outer layers to substrates of a different material, for example to obtain corrosion benefits of the outer layer metal with the processability of the substrate metal, field repair of metal components, and various other additive manufacturing technology applications.
- Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used for various applications such as aircraft, motor vehicles, and countless other applications, where they provide beneficial properties including but not limited to strength, strength:weight ratio, corrosion resistance, high specific heat, and tolerance of extreme temperatures.
- the use of titanium alloys as metal powder used in the cold spray process has been limited by factors such as degradation of the nozzles used in the cold gas spray process and a tendency of the titanium alloys to clog nozzles used in the cold spray process.
- Conventional approaches for dealing with such nozzle problems typically involve the use of exotic (and expensive) materials such as quartz for the cold spray nozzles, or modification of cold spray process parameters to lower temperatures or other process modifications that can cause adverse impacts to the properties of cold spray-applied material.

- conditions e.g., contact time, temperature, space velocity
- the nitride titanium or titanium alloy metal powder is applied to a substrate with a cold spray deposition process.
- a cold spray process unmelted metal particles are introduced into a high velocity gas stream being projected out of a high velocity (e.g., supersonic) nozzle toward the coating substrate target.
- the particles' kinetic energy provides sufficient heat on impact with the coating substrate such that the particles plastically deform and fuse with the substrate and surrounding deposited metal material.
- the particles impact the substrate they rapidly cool even as the particles are deforming. The particles change shape dramatically from relatively round to very thin flat splats on the surface.
- FIG. 2 An exemplary system is depicted in FIG. 2 .
- metal powder is fed from powder feeder 48 through conduit 49 to spray gun 50, which includes nozzle 52 and gun heater 54.
- Powder particle diameter sizes can range from 1 to 120 microns, more specifically from 5 to 75 microns.
- Pressurized gas is fed from gas pre-heater 56 to gun heater 54 through conduit 55.
- Exemplary gases for use in the system include helium, nitrogen, or a mixture of helium and nitrogen. Helium can provide greater gas velocities than nitrogen and has the additional technical effect of being benefited by the nitriding process because unlike a nitrogen-based gas stream, helium does not provide any opportunity for nitriding to occur in the spray gun 50.
- the powder and the gas streams are mixed in the gun and accelerated to supersonic speeds as the gas/powder mixture exits the nozzle 52.
- the system also includes a controller or control console 58, which receives input from gun pressure sensor 60 and gun temperature sensor 62 and provides control signals to the gas pre-heater and powder feeder.
- the term "cold” in “cold spray deposition” refers to the fact that the gas is maintained at a temperature below the melting point of the metal powder; however, as described above the gas is heated in both the gas pre-heater 56 and the gun heater 54.
- the temperature of the gas used in the process can range from 0°C to 1200°C, more specifically from 200°C to 1000°C, and even more specifically from 200°C to 800°C.
- Gas pressure can range from 5 bar to 60 bar, more specifically from 15 bar to 45 bar, and even more specifically from 20 bar to 40 bar.
- Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder materials were nitrided in a fluidized bed reactor as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the reactor was then placed in a Model K-3-18 reactor furnace (CM Furnaces, Inc.).
- argon gas Praxair
- the furnace temperature was increased at a rate of about 4.5°C/min to the target nitridation temperature as shown in Table 1.
- a control sample was also prepared in which argon gas was used for the entire process without any nitrogen gas.
- the gas flow was switched to nitrogen (Matheson) and the temperature was held for the times indicated in Table 1.
- the gas flow was switched to argon and the reactor was allowed to cool down. This was done primarily to isolate the soak time and to prevent any further nitridation that might occur at the higher temperatures during the slow cooling process.
- the powder temperature reached a low enough temperature (about 300°C)
- the gas flow was switched again, back to nitrogen and the furnace continued to cool down to ambient temperature.
- the resulting metal powders, along with samples of the untreated powder were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX).
- nitridation at 700°C and 800°C each resulted in an increase in surface nitrogen on the particles and a decrease in surface oxygen for the particles, with nitridation at 800°C producing a greater effect than nitridation at 700°C.
- Surface carbon detected by XPS is believed to result from surface contamination during preparation of the metal powders.
- the metal powders were used in a system as shown in FIG. 2 using helium at 700° and 30 bar as the gas or a 50/50 blend of helium and nitrogen at 800°C and 40 bar.
- the nitrided titanium alloy powders exhibited significantly reduced nozzle clogging (and resulting higher quality metal deposits) than either the untreated powder or the control powder.
