    The porosity of the cold sprayed deposits reflects the deformation degree of the sprayed particles and the bonding degree between them, which has an important influence on the deposit properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, friction and wear performance, corrosion resistance, fatigue property and so on. Hence, the porosity of deposits is very important for evaluating the comprehensive properties of deposits and optimizing the cold spraying process parameters, and it is one of the important indicators to evaluate the quality of deposits. Although previous review articles have summarized the influence of cold spraying process on the cold sprayed deposits performance, there were few review articles involving pores in cold sprayed deposits and their control methods. Referring to dozens of articles, this article aimed to review the formation of pores in cold sprayed deposits, the measurement methods, the influence factors and summarize the influence of porosity on the properties of deposits and the measures to reduce the porosity of deposits.

    In order to promote the application of cold spray technology in the field of aviation protective coatings, this work prepared CuNiIn coating on surface of TC4 titanium alloy via cold spray with nitrogen technology. The macrostructure and microstructure, microhardness and fretting wear properties of the coating were analyzed by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, microhardness tester and fretting wear tester respectively. Results showed that the overall porosity of the coating was about 2.8%, and the closer to the substrate, the denser the coating. The microstructure of the coating was finer than that of the original powder. Moreover, the hardness value of the coating increased from the substrate to the surface along the thickness direction, which changed from 274 HV2 N of average hardness near the substrate to stable value of 300 HV2 N near the surface of the coating. When the fretting displacement was small, the coating failure mechanism was mainly adhesive wear, and the wear morphology was oval. When the fretting displacement was large, it was mainly abrasive wear, and the wear morphology was close to circular.

    Corrosion and biofouling are the main problems of marine equipment during the long - term service process, which are considered as the focus and difficulty in the field of marine equipment protection. In this work, a new idea of preparing aluminum/silver nanowire composite particles by low - cost hydrothermal method and preparing aluminum/silver nanowire composite coating by using the low temperature characteristics of cold spraying was proposed. The dense composite coatings were constructed based on the design of composition and structures of the composite coatings. The corrosion resistance and biofouling properties of the composite coatings were evaluated by artificial seawater solution and Gram - positive Bacillus subtilis, respectively. Results showed that the corrosion resistance of the composite coatings was similar to that of the cold sprayed aluminum coatings, and the sterilization rate of the composite coatings was  This work could provide a new technical route for the preparation of marine anti - corrosion and antifouling coatings.

     In - situ densification of the sprayed coating layer was realized by mixing large size shot peening particles into spray powder, which could improve not only the strength of the deposits but also the bonding strength of the deposited coatings with the substrate through the hammering effect of shot peening particles on deposited coatings. In this paper, recent development of the in - situ micro - forging assisted cold spraying technology was summarized. Firstly, the working principle of this technology was briefly introduced, and the influence of parameters such as shot peening volume fraction and particle size was discussed. Secondly, the evolution of the microstructure of the coating was discussed, including its effects on interparticle bonding quality, plastic deformation degree and subsequent heat treatment on the microstructure. Then, the mechanical properties and corrosion protection performance were summarized. Finally, some important issues which needed further investigations were pointed out.

    Aluminum alloy is widely used for its light weight characteristic and excellent corrosion resistance. Cold spraying technology is one effective method to fabricate the Al anti - corrosive coatings owing to its high speed and low temperature deposition characterization. In this work, the aluminum powder was mixed with ceramic phase powder to prepare the composite powder by mechanical mixing, and Al5056/Al5056 - Al2O3/Al5056 - SiC/Al5056 - WC coatings were prepared by cold spraying on the Al1060 substrate. The porosity and content of the ceramic phase in the coating were studied through Image - Pro Plus software, and microhardness testing was carried out on the composite coatings. Meanwhile, the effects of ceramic types on the electrochemical properties of composite coatings were studied, and the corrosion resistance of the coating was analyzed in combination with the corrosion morphology. Results showed that the ceramic phase could be effectively deposited, but the self aggregation of ceramic particles during the spraying process affected the compaction of the coating. Besides, Al5056 and Al5056 - Al2O3 coatings exhibited high impedance modulus, but the self corrosion current density and corrosion rate of Al5056 - Al2O3 coatings were reduced by an order of magnitude compared with other coatings. Thus, the Al5056 - Al2O3 coating showed the best corrosion resistance performance.

    High - entropy alloys are a kind of novel multi - principal component alloy that recently breaks through the design concept of traditional alloys, which were significantly superior to conventional metallic materials in compressive strength, hardness, thermal stability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

    Since cold spraying (CS) technology was discovered, it has shown prominent potential in fabricating compact metallic coatings. However, the coating performance cannot meet the needs of the industry in some cases. For this, in this article, with taking copper as an example, the technology and performance characteristics of cold sprayed copper coatings at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed. The effects of four post - treatment processes on the microstructure and properties of cold sprayed copper coatings were discussed, and the applications of cold sprayed copper coatings in main fields were given. Finally, the problems and solutions still existing in the preparation of copper by cold spraying were analyzed and prospected.

    At present, the research on low - pressure cold sprayed Al - Al2O3 composite coating mainly focused on the process and properties, and there was less research on the deposition characteristics and mechanism of particles. For this, the Al - Al2O3 composite coating was deposited by low pressure cold spraying technology (LPCS). The effects of different carrier gas temperatures on the deposition characteristics of the composite coating were studied. The thickness, surface morphology and microstructure of the composite coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and three - dimensional profiler. Results showed that the thicknesses of Al - Al2O3 composite coating prepared by LPCS at different carrier gas temperatures (300, 400, 500 and 600 ℃) were 213.34, 321.62, 920.64, 986.97 μm, respectively. The thickness of composite coating increased with the increase of carrier gas temperature. Especially when the carrier gas temperature of cold spraying increased from 400 ℃ to 500 ℃, the thickness of deposited coating was increases by 186.25%. The maximum height difference Hmax and roughness Ra of the composite coating surface increased with the increase of carrier gas temperature. When the carrier gas temperature was 400 ℃, the surface quality of the composite coating was the best. When the carrier gas temperature rose from 400 ℃ to 500 ℃, the increased amplitudes of Hmax and Ra were the largest, 72.68% and 52.22%, respectively. The surface quality of the composite coating decreased with the increase of carrier gas temperature. The flattening rate of deformed Al particles in the composite coating decreased with the increase of carrier gas temperature. Al particles in the composite coating gradually changed from flat shape with large plastic deformation (300 ℃) to ellipsoid shape with small plastic deformation (600 ℃). The sudden increase of deposition rate of Al - Al2O3 coating and the decrease of particle flattening rate with the increase of carrier gas temperature were attributed to thermal softening effect of Al particles.
