Influence of the ceramic particle size on the process of formation of cermet coatings by cold spray is experimentally studied. A specially developed nozzle with separate injection of ceramic and metal powders into the gas stream is used in the experiments. The results obtained demonstrate that fine ceramic powders (Al2O3, SiC) produce a strong activation effect on the process of spraying soft metal (Al, Cu) and increase deposition efficiency of the metal component of the mixture compared to the pure metal spraying. At the same time, coarse ceramic powder produces a strong erosion effect that considerably reduces coating mass growth and deposition efficiency of the metal component. It is experimentally shown that the addition of fine hard powder to soft metals as Al and Cu allows to significantly reduce the critical temperature (the minimum gas stagnation temperature at which a nonzero particle deposition is observed) for spraying these metals.
