In maintenance and manufacturing environments, variability is the rule rather than the exception. Components in service rarely degrade in predictable ways, as corrosion, wear, and distortion manifest differently from part to part. Cold spray has emerged as an effective approach for restoring high-value components. Its ability to deposit material in the solid state without melting the substrate has made it attractive in applications where preserving material properties is critical.
