Cold spraying titanium nitride

[AnthonyE]

Hi,
I've been trying to find out if it is possible to cold spray titanium nitride with a binder onto steel ? Just wondering if anyone has any experience or can point me to an article? I have searched with no success.

Many Thanks

Hi AnthonyE

to the Surface Engineering Forum.

Can't help on this one, other than to say with the right ductile binder (pretty sure not possible without) I think it should be possible with some development work.

I would add Powdermet in the USA to the list of helpful companies. They can supply you with the powder you need for your trials.

I'd also suggest contacting TWI (the welding institute) in the UK. I know they've been doing work with cold spray.
