Abstract
Cold spray(CS)is considered as a new type of repairing technique for restoration or remanufacturing of a wide range of unserviceable engineering components due to its unique'cold'characteristic.In this work,a viable repairing approach i.e."cold spraying followed by hot rolling post-treatment"was suc-cessfully applied to restore defective neutron shielding B4C/6061 Al composite plates.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)results revealed that the coating-substrate interface is in a good bonding state without micro-cracks.Hot rolling post-treatment resulted in improved microstructure of the as-sprayed deposit with more uniform distribution of B4C particles in the matrix.Moreover,well bonded splat boundaries and strain free Al grains were evolved in the matrix due to enhanced splat deformation and continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX).Three-point bending test results revealed that the strength of the repaired material is at par with the in-service plates.The find-ings of this work could be considered as a great stride to further extend possible applications of CS for repairing engineering structural components.
