A numerical study on the cold sprayability of carbon fibre reinforced composites

Abstract One of the open questions in cold spraying on fibre reinforced composites is optimal thickness top layer to provide a suitable base for successful deposition metallic particles and at same time hinder probable damage fibres. In this study, detailed finite element model developed study deformation single Cu particle polyether ether ketone (PEEK) substrate with carbon A PEEK 30, 40 or 60 μm was considered surface composite. The impact velocity varied range 300-600 m/s analyse its effects induced deformations as well structural integrity critical It believed that proposed can helpful tool predicting conditions metallization polymers using spray technique.
