Cold spraying is new technology which allows to obtain coatings with properties which are unobtainable by previously used thermal spray methods. This technology can be alsoused in the area of additive manufacturing. The article presents findings of microstructure and mechanical properties of cold-sprayed titanium structures on Al 7075 aluminum alloy.

The microstructure of Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner was analyzed by XRD and SEM. The effect of the Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 7075 aluminum alloy were studied. Results show that when the addition amount of Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner is 0.1%, the microstructure of 7075 aluminum alloy is refined from coarse dendrite to equiaxed grains with an average diameter of 55.1μm. The tensile strength and elongation of 7075 aluminum alloy are improved by 11.32% and 36.04% compared with that of 7075 aluminum alloy without adding Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner. With increasing the addition amount of Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner from 0.1% to 0.5%, both the tensile strength and elongation are improved. When the addition amount of Al-5Ti-1B grain refiner increases to 0.5%, the microstructure of 7075 aluminum alloy is refined to uniform equiaxed grains with an average diameter of 32.5μm. The tensile strength and elongation are improved by 18.11% and 48.76%, respectively.

Due to the advantages of high deposition rate, low equipment cost and high material utilization rate, aluminum alloy fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has been widely concerned by scholars and scientific institutions. This article reviews the features of aluminum alloy fabricated by different WAAM processes (GMAW-based, GTAW-based, CMT-based, PAW-based). Research status of the porosity, dimensional accuracy, microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy in different process is analyzed. General tendency of microstructure and mechanical properties were discussed, and suggestions for the future research direction were put forward including mandatory constraint on molten pool and structural topological optimization.
