"Tamping effect during additive manufacturing of copper coating by cold" by Peng Gao, Che Zhang et al.
The tamping effect is of great importance for the microstructure evolution, surface roughness, and mechanical performance of additively manufactured coatings by cold spray. A good understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the tamping effect is therefore crucial for producing high-quality coatings, unfortunately, very few studies along this direction have been conducted. In this study, a multi-particle impact model was proposed to investigate the tamping effect on the deformation behavior and morphology of Cu particles in cold spray. It was found that the tamping effect could induce ...
