This paper describes the use of machined chip feedstock as a way to deposit nanocrystalline metals particulates to surfaces using a cold gas dynamic manufacturing process. The paper also describes how recycling machined chips and turnings can be used to extend the lifetime of functional components by using nanocrystalline particulates deposited using a cold gas dynamic manufacturing technique,
Summary: This paper describes the use of machined chip feedstock as a way to deposit nanocrystalline metals particulates to surfaces using a cold gas dynamic manufacturing process.
