This paper presents the properties of two alloys obtained by the Cold Spray process using a recycling helium system. The spray parameters of CuAgZr and TA6V alloys were optimized to obtain dense coatings. Tensile specimens are NOL-Rings tubes with thicknesses of 3 mm. The microstructural properties are investigated by OM, SEM, and microhardness analysis. The effect of different thermal treatments on the mechanical properties of these alloys is presented.
